Still Is Still Moving, because to me it's a positive song, up-tempo, gets the crowd up and jumpin' around, gets me up. I wrote it, so there must be something in it that speaks to me. I'm not sharp enough to figure out what it is though.

You're open about your marijuana use. Should pot be legalized?

I don't think people ought to go to jail for using it. It's too good a medicine. I guess if it were harder to find on the illegal market, there would be more people out there voting to make it legal. But you can grow a little here or have a little there from a friend, and the next thing you know, you don't care whether it's legal or not.

Any plans to release new music soon?

I record more than any other living white boy. I have an album called Song Bird that I did with Ryan Adams to put out this year. I recorded a song with Shawn King, and that'll be out in a month or so.

Shawn King? Larry King's wife?

Yeah, she's a singer--and a good-lookin' chick too.
