We're still seeing takeover activity. That's positive.

Growth going forward is becoming the big issue for stock investors. Things are still OK on the earnings front, but some companies are beginning to be more conservative with their guidance.

I think if you just look at life in a positive way, positive things will happen.

I feel very good and positive about my future. I look forward to seeing the fans and doing what I do.

I love writing songs. I love doing my radio show and talking to the fans and listening to what they have to say, but there's a certain responsibility that comes along with being given the gift of music. I take that seriously, but at the same time I try to use it to do something that makes a difference in a positive way.

Without consistency there is no moral strength.
