That's the last thing I want to do is go on up there and mess up, you know, in front of America.
What is more comforting to the terrorists around the world: the failure to pass the 9/11 legislation because we lacked a majority of the majority,' or putting aside partisan politics to enact tough new legislation with America's security foremost in mind?
Henry Fonda's son: That's how everybody identified me until Easy Rider came along. Good old Captain America.

I think if you're writing from the heart, very often, the subject matter will adjust as you age... but you try to write the best song you can possibly write. For us, we have the same basic elements that make up the America sound.
One of the big mistakes Republicans made with the Contract with America is that they tried to do too much too fast, and people revolted against it.
