i grew up taking everything from bob dylan, curtis mayfield, the beatles, smokey robinson. mike alma mater was the streets of san francisco. i would dare to go to school. where i really hung out was at the fillmore. that was my university, checking out be the king, and james brown, a cream. finding out how they were able to penetrate people's hearts. with their music. once you do that, something happens to their eyes. they become brighter. they start crying, they do not know why. they start dancing. it is like when a woman gives birth. =mmfirst, she cries and then she laughs. later on, she dances. and that, to me, is the beauty of what san francisco is about. >> one final question, and we are going to link it to your music today. such a rich legacy that you are giving us. you mentioned to me that you are working on a new album. could you share what is coming up? >> i love to dream when i am awake. kand so i had this dream of working with india arie and yo- yo ma to do the george harrison saw; and "-- song. this is the definitive way to do this. we are all in it together, we

and there were curtis russo and john glover, who were on the front porch playing guitar.ttle bongos, and that's how it all began. john glover's mother, you know, the family was the late ronnie white of the miracles. and ronnie really heard me when they were off tour and worked it out for me to go to motown to audition, and that's really how it began. and it's just amazing when i think about that. i think about how many nights i would pray that we had a refrigerator, that we had a stove, how many nights i would pray that my -- well, my mama hit the numbers. no. [laughter] tavis: sounds like looking back on winna. >> i always wanted my mother to be queen for a day. i used to watch that show. it came on television. and to think that in our lifetime i was just to be able to do things for the family, to be at motown. all the things that we experience like right now, just a split second from now they'll just be memories in our mind. but to have a place where you have many blessings that you can remember, and as much as they are no longer tangible, they are so deeply embedded in

curtis, if the decifit is the problem, is more taxation the answer? >> let's put things in perspective here. the death tax raises less than 1 percent of all federal tax revenues and has a disproportionate impact on the economy. it's not the rich who end up paying the death tax. they can afford to plan their way out of itful think of someone like warren buffet, a proponent of the death tax, he's not going to pay a dime of it, he's going to hand his fortune over to the bill and melinda gates foundation, tax-free, then put the rest of the money in foundations the chirp run, so they're going to be taken care of, so he's planned his way out of it. estate tax is the scourge of small businesses, businesses that acquire capital, assets, things like a sthawl construction company and the equipment they use, when the patron of that dice, the irs comes in and values that equipment as part of the estate and often, they are hit with a pretty large estate tax bill and they don't have the cash on hand to pay it, and these businesses, when they get hit, they have to b
