I get so frustrated with all these so-called singer-songwriters coming out and they don't write!

Like a lot of young people growing up in the middle of nowhere, I was desperate to leave my small town behind, but music reconnected me to my roots.

I'm not really that comfortable, to be honest, singing about my darkest moments.

I had a job for a year, working in a high-quality whiskey-and-wine shop.

We need policy change, and the most important thing people can do is to contribute and participate in the political process. We have to vote climate change deniers and people who will create subsidies for the fossil fuel industry out of office. We have to protest when bad decisions are being made about fracking or tar sands.

In the decade before the Civil War various north and south lines of railway were projected and some of these were assisted by grants of land from the Federal Government.

We have a cleaner system of government in this state where people run based on their ideas, not based on their ability to raise money.

I shall work with Congress, civil society groups and local government executives who are convinced that charter changes are needed to enable the country to surmount the unprecedented challenges of the 21st century.
