My experience politically has always been that one-word definition of politics: money. Keep your eye on the buck. And that tells you where the American people are going to be Picture Quote #1

I don’t dabble in politics too much. I’m really ignorant to the world of politics. I’m not that smart, I’m not that cunning, it’s just too much smoke and mirrors for me. I just don’t want to play that game Picture Quote #1

What is music in America? It’s this stand-in for political action in a lot of senses.

I don’t feel like I’m standing in a position where I have some right above other people to say what I think.

We shouldn’t put walls up between each other Picture Quote #1

The recommendation by the Arkansas Supreme Court Disciplinary Committee that President Clinton be disbarred is like a tender green shoot of integrity rising from the stinking junkyard of American public life.

Science is a victim of its own reductive metaphors: ‘Big Bang,’ ‘selfish gene’ and so on. Richard Dawkins’ selfish gene fitted with the Thatcherite politics of the time. It should actually be the ‘altruistic gene,’ but he’d never have sold as many books with a title like that Picture Quote #1

We’ve always believed that popular culture and populist politics go hand in hand. It’s an honor to be working with so many respected and influential artists, and we’re indebted to them for having the courage to speak out at a time when our country so desperately needs change. For our 2.5 million members and far beyond, the Vote for Change tour will have a seismic cultural impact Picture Quote #1
