When you set out to carry on a tradition as deep rooted as folk music is, you've got to have your story together. You've got to study and have a foundation. Jeffrey Foucault has that foundation, and you can hear it in his voice, and feel it in his music. He's got an understanding that you don't hear that often.

My friend Danny Clinch, who's a photographer, gave me a big, signed, numbered print of a photo he took of Eddie Vedder in Seattle. It's hung in my writing room where I have posters of writers that inspire me. They're all pointing at me. Tom Waits is like, 'Don't sell out!'

- Nothing

- Nov 07, 2020
I had a five-year plan to get to 500-seat venues and tour by ourselves and fill a room everywhere we go. I figured we could make a living off that. As long as you buy nothing stupid, you'll be OK.

Fans look up to us, and that's creepy.

I never got a chance to do Tom Waits or PJ Harvey kind of stuff in the Gaslight Anthem.
- Nov 07, 2020
We didn't invent this - this rock n' roll thing.
- Grow
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Major labels have always been around our band since the beginning, and we just waited. We knew we had to do some things, and we needed to grow as a band before we made that step. We needed to do it our way and not do it how it works for other people.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There can be a wrong time - it's happened to countless bands where they release their first record on a major label and never learned what they maybe should have learned on an indie.
- Like

Songs are like anything else - they dictate to you which ones go together and which ones don't.

- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't mean it egotistically, but I've been given the chance to be in front of people and sing, and I feel that it's part of my job and my duty - especially where I'm from - to speak the language of the people I'm around and speak for them.
- Change Things
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With 'Get Hurt,' we wanted to see where else we could go with the band. We thought it was time to change things up a bit. The song itself is similar to the feeling of a wreck you see coming, but long past the point you can avoid it.
- Guitar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One day, I was just fingering around on the keys of a Fender Rhodes piano, and I came up with this little riff, and all of a sudden, it morphed into a song. It had never been touched by a guitar, which was very weird for us. 'Under the Ground' is the first song I have ever written that had nothing to do with the guitar.
- Forever
- |

I'll probably continue to write about heartbreak forever. That stuff doesn't go away as you get older.

- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can't really see myself writing about politics because I'm not really into it, and one of the worst things you can do is write about things you're not into.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
It's amazing to me: when people start their career, you write about maybe a couple of topics, and you find that as you grow older, a lot of those topics never resolve, because I think your job as a writer is to pose questions as you see them. I don't know if we're supposed to give answers to people, because I don't know if we have any.
- New

- Nov 07, 2020
There's never going to be a new Beatles because we don't consume things in that way anymore.
- Out
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

Everyone always says, 'We don't want to be pigeonholed.' But sometimes, your pigeonhole is a great place to be.
- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At the end of the day, you can't reinvent yourself past a point, because you are you, and there are things that are inherently you that are always going to be there.
- Comeback
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think Green Day's 'American Idiot' is probably the best comeback or mid-career record that any band has done.

I'm on the phone with this guy, and he says to me, 'People compare you to Bruce Springsteen. I don't think you've written a song as good as 'Dancing in the Dark' or 'I'm on Fire.'' And all I could think was, 'Me neither!'
