  • Charlottesville

    Charlottesville I strongly condemn any ‘white supremacy’ movement. Anytime. Anywhere. I don’t believe in white supremacy. I don’t believe in the superiority of any race, for that matter. Lately, I’m not even sure I believe in the supremacy of humans, looking at the way we’ve done our best to screw things up. I also don’t …

  • NIGEL GRAINGE

    My friend Nigel Grainge passed away this week. He was a mentor, guide, confident, source of perpetual curiosity and frustration, role model for how to remain interested in the world. But above all, he was an enduring inspiration. In the music business, Nigel did what they call “A&R” (Originally this meant “Artists and Repertoire). He …

  • VIVA TERLINGUA – JERRY JEFF WALKER

  • RODNEY CROWELL – BE A LITTLE HUNGRY

    1996 – Nashville Rodney Crowell is on his way to pick me up for breakfast. I’m standing in the lobby of the hotel wondering why this is happening. I don’t know Rodney that well. We’ve toured together a few times, ran into each other a few times in airports and on street corners in New …

  • MODERN FOLK MUSIC

    Years ago, David Kahne (the record producer and also my A&R guy atColumbia Records) told me that the magic of Bruce Springsteen is that he writes new folk songs. You feel like you’ve heard them for years. This morning when I sat at the piano for an hour learning “Racing In The Streets” that statement …
