"You have to learn and keep learning." — Gil Scott-Heron

I've always had questions about what it meant to be a protester, to be in the minority. Are the people who are trying to find peace, who are trying to have the Constitution apply to everybody, are they really the radicals? We're not protesting from the outside. We're inside.

Music has the power to make me feel good like nothing else does. It gives me some peace for a while. Takes me back to who I really am.

Womenfolk raised me, and I was full-grown before I knew I came from a broken home.

You know what has made me the happiest I've ever been? Seeing my son and daughter graduate from college. More than wanting them to be educated, I wanted them to be nice people. To see that they have become both is just a wonderful thing.
