“Dave & I were trying to calculate how many years - how many decades - we’ve known each other. He has photos of me from 30 years ago. That was a really creative time in my life. I made two albums back then. Then the music went dark for about 20 years. And then I turned 60, and the music came back. Just like that. I’m just shocked! I just turned 67, and I’m absolutely thrilled that I’m writing what I feel is the best work of my life. I’m trying to get it all out fairly rapidly because I have a terminal cancer.
But as bad as having a diagnosis like this is, I’m more worried about America right now. I don’t sit around and worry about my cancer or my epilepsy or what crazy thing is going to happen next. I’m just sick about it. We all are. No country is ever going to be perfect. But I want my nieces to have the America I grew up in. When politics was boring.” -Mary Ann
