All-time favorite song is tough, I gotta say. I think it would probably be a Beatles song, so maybe "Strawberry Fields Forever"? Do you have one?(less)

It's a smooth and easy read, perfectly fine to sip while sitting on the porch on a nice evening, which is how I finished it. But there's a whole lot of there there, and when you finish you're still thirsty and not even a little drunk. ...more

“And so now I'd like to say - people can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. People are running about following their little tracks - I am one of them. But we've all got to stop just following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything - this is something that I'm beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other. That's because they've been dehumanised. It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Greed, it ain't going anywhere. They should have that in a big billboard across Times Square. Without people you're nothing. That's my spiel.”
