There is something suspicious about music, gentlemen. I insist that she is, by her nature, equivocal. I shall not be going too far in saying at once that she is politically suspect.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People say, 'Gee, you don't really do political music.' Well, I sing a lot of songs about how men and women and lovers treat each other, and none of us want to be talked down to or belittled or ignored or disrespected... So I'm proud to be a feminist.
I have a very strange relationship in general with women around my music. There's some that understand it and some that think there should be a law against it.
It is a common mistake these days to politicize anything and everything, including music.
When the suggestion was made that I might consider doing music of Joni Mitchell, I thought it was a fantastic idea. Joni, I admire not only for her music but for her person, because she's a person that really stands out for what she believes in.
It has always seemed slightly uncomfortable, the idea of politicised musicians. Very few of them are clever enough to do it; if they're good at the political side, the music side suffers, and vice versa.
I do write songs with a political dimension to them sometimes, but I'm always slightly appalled by it when I do.
I think Anna Tambour is criminally under-read.
An artist must create. If she doesn't, she will become a menace to society.
What I love about Beyonce is she's not a slave to a genre of music.
I wouldn't necessarily say she is a country artist. I mean, obviously Taylor Swift started in country, but she morphed into somewhat of a cultural icon, so, who am I to judge what she is?
