"When I listen to people that move me vocally, not all of them can necessarily sing very well..."

“When I listen to people that move me vocally, not all of them can necessarily sing very well technically. It just comes from the gut you know? It’s totally about presence. It’s not about technicality it’s about the presence of what you’re singing. I’ve had some gigs when I’ve just not been there and you can tell your voice is just not as good when you’re not mentally in the right place to sing. It’s the same with playing an instrument I think. Everyone probably thinks differently but it’s just got to be from the gut, it’s good to be emotional. You’ve really got to mean what you’re saying. Some of my favorite singers; Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Lou Reed or Nina Simone, all these people are fantastic. They can’t all sing great technically but they move you when you hear them. The guy from the Flaming Lips, I mean what a voice he’s got. I used to absolutely hate it the first time I heard it, I just couldn’t stand it but its one of those that gets in your soul. It gets in the cracks and won’t leave.”

“People that are fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old, music is their life. And the idea that they can’t go see a band because they’re not old enough just doesn’t make any sense at all. To me, playing a show where people under the age of eighteen or under the age of twenty one are not allowed in is the same thing as not allowing women in, or Asians. It’s a significant part of the population that’s been ruled out for what reason? I’ve never played a show, knowingly at least, that wasn’t all ages. Music is for all people, that’s clear. And I don’t know why other people would ever accept conditions that were set by an industry as insidious as the alcohol industry. Why is music treated as a sideline to a party? To just getting fucked up, I just don’t understand it.”
