There's nothing I'd rather do than play music. I write my own songs, but also enjoy playing the work of Kate Wolf, Richard Thompson, the Grateful Dead, and many other musicians too numerous to mention. The songs I write tap into the same veins of insight, inspiration, and ecstasy that my favorite musicians channel so well.

Story behind the song
when i wrote the lyric, i didn't think of it as a reggae song, but, after seeing the recent Bob Marley documentary and asking myself, "What would Bob have to say about the world as it is now?" I starting hearing this as a reggae song.
