More From Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Liberty lives in protest and democracy prospers under conditions of change. when we travel about the world and come to a country whose newspapers are filled with bad news we feel that liberty lives in that land. when we come to a country whose newspapers are filled with good news, we feel differently.

The work of democratic government is routinely concerned with matters defined as troubles. in "the presidency and the press" i make the point, familiar to anyone who has flown about the world much, that the best quick test of the political nature of a regime is to read the local papers on arrival. if they are filled with bad news, you have landed in a libertarian society of some sort. if, on the other hand, the press is filled with good news, it is a fair bet that the jails will be filled with good men.

Now your kids can't escape. thirteen-year-olds back then, if they didn't watch the evening news, they didn't see news. if they didn't watch the 6:30 or seven p.m. news, they didn't see news. today younger people have much more access to that kind of hard news than you did when you were 13 back then.
Kids People Today
I just don't need cable news. there's nothing that happens on cable news that i don't already know. i'm talking about just the acquisition of information, learning things. what is on cable tv is not that. cable news isn't news. what is happening on cable news right now is a political assassination of not just donald trump, but of ideas and cultural mores that i believe in.

There's also this weirdness to california, this darkness, it's a place where people come to follow their dreams and sometimes don't make it.

The truth is in california you can't build a new manufacturing facility, and businesses are leaving in droves because of bad government policy.

I kinda like the duality of california and the dark side, the underbelly of california, and i think that's what this album ['california']feels like - there's endless hope and optimism but there's also a darker side.
