“Most of my music is probably, at this point, a lot of it is traced back to the gospel roots, you know. ‘Promised Land,’ ‘The Rising,’ I use a lot of gospel which is where a lot of rock music came from. The first front men were really the preachers. So I was drawn to music that addressed the spirit, probably because my own needed to be addressed!”

That was a great interview, wasn't it? I like what he said about the "lai lai lai" chorus in "The Rising;" how he was inviting people not only to sing with him, but stand with him.

Amen and amen! I shouted out in the car when I heard him say this. Incredible.
