People love it because they co...
You are well known for writing with your heart firmly on your sleeve, on many subjects such as love, racism, politics and many other nuances and social issues. Did any of that change once you became a father to a daughter, or did it just make the passions more inflamed? [laughs] The second bit! As soon as Rosie was born, I wrote a song for her, and...
