How to Listen

A good artist breathes life into his work. His work takes on a life of its own. I think of my songs as independent entities, with their own lives, which may explain how successful they have been in attracting listeners while in the hands of others. But this dirty business has made an all-out effort to make my music more about the musician. They want your listening experience of my music to be corrupted by what they tell you about me. Whatever they tell you about me, it does not diminish the beauty of my work. When I first shared my songs, you knew you could trust them because you could see that I was writing them from my heart and not from my bank account. I hope it won't be too much longer before we can all return to that time. I hope you'll judge my songs on their own merits and not on mine. By the way, the first thing my lawyer told me when I saw him again in February was to 'expect nothing'. I would appreciate it if all my music and comedy fans could adopt this mindset. My work is available right now, without any participation of the big music labels or TV networks, to be enjoyed by the whole world. My work is not about wanting to be a rock star or a TV star, it's about my life.
