Summary

This quote emphasizes the long-lasting impact of journalism compared to the relatively short-term authority of a presidential term. While a president's term is limited to four years, the influence wielded by journalism extends far beyond any individual's tenure. Journalism, through its reporting and investigative efforts, has the power to shape public opinion, hold those in power accountable, and inform the population long after a president's time in office. It highlights the critical role that journalism plays in upholding democracy and being a lasting force in society.

I don't mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while, but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you're resting all day, and you go in and do a sound check, and you do the show, and then bam you're gone.

I'm torn about late parenting. I believe people should spend their twenties living and having fun and not having any regrets later. I also think people in their thirties generally make better parents but so many of my friends are having trouble - myself included - as fathers get older.

I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.
