• I'm one of a dying breed who goes out and tours all the time. Labels don't spend the money to send people out to play before they become famous, but we did do that so the fans we have are word of mouth fans who have been travelling around with us for years, and they buy the albums, but they are also the ones who go out and get the bootlegs. I don't discourage bootlegging, I like playing live, I don't think it hurts my album sales at all if there are bootlegs out there. Who cares?

• I am really interested in who owns ideas of religion. What if I say I'm a libertarian, socialist, Occupy-supporting, anti-war, Christian? Is that a controversial idea?

• We live in a society that is in transition from oral to written. There are oral stories that are still there, not exactly in their full magnificence, but still strong in their differentness from written stories. Each mode has its ways and methods and rules. They can reinforce each other; this is the advantage my generation has - we can bring to the written story something of that energy of the story told by word of mouth.

I got lucky because I had a few songs that hit big and got a lot of links on blog posts.

• You heard about, through word of mouth,
  Big Bird is out, he's in the house.
  He's turnin' up, with Snuffleup,
  They're really gettin' their hustle up.
  They stick together like Velcro,
  There Grover go, there's Elmo.
  And Cookie Monster there, look he likes
  To take selfies with his cell phone.
  They got a homegirl named Abby,
  Her last name is Cadabby,
  I showed her my report card,
  She said, 'Not too shabby!'
  They got all types of cool kids there,
  It's lots of fun if you live there,
  One thing I keep forgettin' about Sesame Street...
  How do you get there?
