i cannot do that when i listen to you. the music for " washes over me. it is so immediately engaging and hypnotize him. to be fair, the other part of it is, in 1000 years, i could never do that. there is a technical component to would you do, and i am reminded, one of your albums was reviewed by "coo guitar plar magazine." i am prepared praising he said something to the effect of, listening to alex thrusts fellow pickers to the brink of decision. do i give up everything else in my life and practice like a madman or throw my guitar down the chasm? >> that became a staple in my press packed with back then. today, to be honest, there are a lot of talented young players out there. the whole scene has developed so much, the technique has really moved forward a lot. >> and each generation can learn from the previous. leo cocky learn from fahey. each new generation has these new musicians to slow down and learn a note by note. on the technical side, when you write, maybe do not want to give away your secrets, but are you writing in real time, at that tempo, or d

that is what i was interested in listening to, and that is what i wanted to sound like.here has been this thing about white people stealing black music. i think there is no doubt about that, but there are also white musicians, eric clapton, ry cooder, phil collins, you mentioned, many, many players who were just brought up on it and loved black music. they just want to sound that way. when i sit down and think, that is what comes out. that is what i am trying to emulate. marvin gaye, sam cooke, huge giants and people who are listen to, just cut the debt linked as a kid, all that mt time -- just studied at length as a kid. that is not the case now for kids. it is all shattered to smithereens. you are distracted so frequently, you don't get a chance to really listen and reflect. that marvin gaye approved of my -- how of "house we'd is sweet it is." tavis: how does james taylor go about writing songs, that he does not always figure out what they mean until years later? >> that is a reference to -- it is true that i can write a song and not really be sure what the meaning is

>> i don't think so. listenwhat makes us interesting as people is what makes us frustrating as people. is that since we began we're utterly unpredictable. and i would never want to take that away from folks, even if i'm going to be at the losing end of that every now and then. i want folks to be folks. and to be folks means you got to be unpredictable and often do stuff that's not always good for you. >> so what did you mean recently when you said the new america that we've been talking about, "the new america has a presence, but it has not yet begun to take up the space it deserves"? >> well, i mean, god, listen, when i think about the new america, when i think about that diversity that we were talking about, young people, gay americans. when we were talking about latinos, asian americans. we're talking about immigrants. we're talking about youth. we're talking about city folks. it's kind of a broad coalition. but when i think about the way we present ourselves, when i think about the narratives, hell, if i jus

the use of tazers for a lack of a better word but i believe it's teachable to be in life, so when i listened to what the police department said in there presentation and the community and what they had to say and their response i realized it's not so simple, and when i listened to the police chief talk about it would be better today if the man that was killed in that incident at the chocolate factory would be alive today i felt a heart warm connection to that and i thought about it and i am like hum -- is this true? and so i kind of looked at my own situation where my adopted father committed suicide and because he was on anti-depressants for years after being in the air force and stationed in vietnam and started in computers, very fluent in japanese, spanish and french so he was intelligent man and capable but there was a 10 day period where the anti-depressants were changed and unfortunately he took those and committed suicide. it was ruled an accidental suicide but you never know and would i like that man killed at the chocolate factory and the repercussions and i am experiencing that in

is it a society that says "i won't listen to fox," or "i will listen to fox, and only fox," or "i listen to msnbc"? why can we not listen to the marketplace of ideas and understand that people have a right under our constitution to have different points of view? that is why you are here today. to listen to different points of view. the fact of the matter is, today, we are in a society that does not even respect the concept of having a right to a lawyer. as president of the american bar association, i have an opportunity to choose the theme for our law day, and i chose the legacy of john adams from concord to guantanamo, because every high-school student had to think about why it is our obligation to defend those who have ideas different than our own. why we live in a constitutional democracy. a constitutional democracy is the difference of two words, each of which are two letters. that is the rule "of" law, and the rule "by" law. the rule by law as when a majority get together and get -- and decide what rights, if any, the minority has. nazi germany was one of the most lawful and unjust

i wonder if this saturday, if people are going into their salons, amy, saying, hey, listen, can i getelle obama? yeah. >> yeah. >> what do you think? >> yeah, oh, i think so. we've seen the photo. we're going to want to see how the bangs move. that's what we'll be looking for. >> let's see. >> i've got the side sweep. she got the straight across much. >> what is your favorite pick, topping your list? >> that's hard to say. i think there are so many events. there's a lot of buzz, though, about the after-after party that rahm emanuel is doing monday night. >> the after-after party? >> the chicago blues party that starts at 11:00 at night, that's the ticket everyone is trying to get into. >> amy argetzinger. i like your poots, boots, i could use them now. it's warm over here where the lights are and freezing here. you came appropriately dressed. i'm not. thank you, amy. always a pressure to see you. >>> the inauguration includes the first lady and we're going to highlight that amazing woman. that is next. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios has oats that can help lower cholesterol?

i listen to every single major pharmaceutical call and hear about generic competition. ing off patent that will plummet in price scares me and i tell to you get out. because i think that it will trade at a low multiple to future earnings even if it traded at a high one in the past. until a stock discounts that, i have to keep you out of it. few drug companies are immune from this. i steer clear of them as best i can until everybody knows about the patent cliff and then i can go back. finally, there are gross margins in the oil service companies. these are the hardest. they're difficult because you often have to figure out several numbers for the gross margins, how much it costs to drill, get it out of the ground, ship it, refine it. these are complicated companies. many companies in the industry have tried to break themselves up to make it easier for guys like me to figure out their gross margins instead of being a blend i have to unwrap. i care about finding costs and about end market prices. that's why the natural gas companies, for example, traded at discount to the p

i don't know the answer but when you know thing i do know fiduciaries you listen to what the people want most of all, it's education for all they're children and i ask many women now when i'm over sees, i ask the women i'm here is a your servant and would like to help you what do you want? most women would say i want a good husband or to become wealthy or prosperity. what most women say is, we don't want our babys to diet. how do you answer that question? it comes through educating girls and through female literacy. >> thanks, doug. this is different schools. my daughter occasionally, she looks at these photos and said, dad you don't have any playgrounds in your school so now we have playgrounds and skipping ropes and it's been a really great blessing to see. play is an important part of the learning process and socializing so thank you, amira. this is in la lander school, the story is in karen chronicled it in a tab you have there. well this school, there are somal bonn there and tsom some,al b al ban they're and th attacked and tried kill people that came to school. the taliban. the he

so even when i'm scared, it's me i listen to. i'm not really afraid of someone's opinion. [applause] except you, baby, only you. >> what advice could you give to the youth of america? >> i think the best advice i've ever gotten from anybody was that you don't have to know which you don't want. at some point you have to know what it is that your core that you are. i can't come from your parents or teachers or coaches. at some point there has to be something in it that you listen to to and that you trust because no matter where you go, you're always do. you have to be in tune with yourself enough that the sound of your voice comes as you. i think too many times that given the power to someone else to make us feel better to give us the way. that's kind of how i believe. >> i was actually listening to you and i noticed that you said that you are a high school dropout and you've amounted to where you're at today. i'm actually a college dropout and never amounted to where i met today, which isn't necessarily a lot, but it something. but i'd like to think that that is not the syst

well just just reintroducing qualities you know the way i grew up listening to music so that's what we wanted to introduce and reintroduce to people. except of giving your name. to this product that you actually put put something into it i mean did you work. this is not just a name or face on the box i was a part of it from from ground up i mean me and jimmy were part of every screw and everything that had to do with this and you know the nuts and bolts really. because we live and we live in a recording studio. recording studio for twenty years and you know twenty five years forty five years i haven't any welding no. i'm doing those welding by the way you know bob. i think you should agree with me i mean we're pretty much the same generation that when we put in. an old lp player the sound is better than what we get now out of the hype. and you're telling me that the sound was created in lousy equipment i think who ever was always there i mean if you're talking about a horrible no is being played back on. the air but. even played with yeah but you can make great sounding air but it's a

take a listen. i want to ask you something about this. >> they started making nasty telephone calls and came to the point that some day, more than 40 telephone calls would come in threatening my life, the life of my family, the life of my children. i took it for a while in a strong manner. but i never will forget one night very late. it was around midnight, and you can have some strange experiences at midnight. tavis: he goes on to talk about the fear for his own life. this is king speaking about montgomery, alabama, where he was leading the movement. i thought about that and wondered how it is that you processed that. he suggested that yueh suggested black folks should not be afraid to vote for you because something might happen to you. there is secret service all around the studio. other candidates do not have that because of threats against her life. >> it is not something i think about. when i listen to that tape is i think about the kurds that man went through. he did not have secret service prot

to mr graef which i haven't listened to all his comments or day long and he is saying that as far as he's concerned the ministers the leaders on the board these diplomats they haven't learned the rules i have every reading into the details and you alluded to the whole game better for because he was saying that he's compared them to a hockey team but haven't learned the rules of the guy and if you don't know the rules you call the place let's listen to his accusations now. so it's so stupid shit even if you're talking about w.t. or accession in future tense can i ask the ministers how many hours that they spent studying w t o reasons i can answer not a single one if you tell me that you have it then i will ask you a simple question because i did this for seven years what is regulated by w.t. all rules so the problem is we haven't realized that we are part of w t o and we still don't know the rules of the game used of us mostly and he says seven is that let's not forget he was actually the economic minister for trade he loved those roles he knows what he's talking about if anyone does

but you know, some of them i do like to listen to. mostly i like to play them. funny thing about writing songs is that often if you're a single songwriter, the first time a song will get really played by the band and first time you try it out at all it gets recorded and then that's it for the agent whereas if you write a song and perform it 20 times, 30 times it really sorts itself out. i often wish i could, you know, that i weren't writing for a recording something. the first time we're on to something fresh. >> rose: let me understand this. because it will be better. >> it gets better with time as you perform it. so performing these songs is not so much listening to them but playing them and replaying them with, that's the other thing, the be thing is the band that i work with, these musicians that i've been able to work with over the years have been just, that's a joy, you know. that's a great delight. >> rose: so you finally figured out how to sing carolina on my mind. >> yes. >> rose: the lady's interpretation is the right one. >> that's right. i think ther

because when i listen to that that ain't (bleep) hitler. i guess hannity wants to protect american liberties and would stand up to any presidential overreach even if it was done in saving lives. if the president wanted to listen to your private conversation without a warrant. i can't imagine hannity talking about that in 2006. >> the president's power to the constitution in commander in chief he has to ensure the safety of this country and the american people, doesn't he, especially during war. >> jon: likes like a tyrant is anyone sworn to protect the constitution you didn't vote for. former press secretary dana perino thought it was an untasty -- >> even if that means surcouple venting congress. signing these 23 executive orders is weak tea. >> jon: here tess in her previous job. >> the president will sign an executive order preserving two recreational fish, the striped bass and red drum. [cheers and applause] >> jon: no, no, there's a distinction here. there's a strong distinction here. it's okay to use executive orders but only if you ar

i. listen to that i would never knew if i wouldn't have internet so they are also a good part of that it's this free. free community shuffle over from asia. you know i. i think the whole world it's not just the music industry it's the whole world is difficult there's no communications any more of the people are communicated by even by s.m.s. you see and sometimes i go in a restaurant i see you koppel are young you have full. they don't even look to each other they just roll things you know they do can you post with the not so subtle it's just. and you know and sometimes. i'm not against critics because you can't you can't please everyone. but but it's easy to say words yes no i don't like it it's you know they don't even think how much time you spend to do a project to prepare project to. it's i don't know i think and what the whole world will i would i would say the whole world is different ok patricia thank you very much messier for this interview i wish you all the success i wish you good trip i wish you have more rest and you know. this. famous words the staying the road be yourself no

i. listen i want to invite you to attend the event you've been looking forward to the place is called the museum of interest taining science all of us will be there in saturday. by the way coming to. grey it's balancing the long time you miss him. very much. little bit. old. little. speed. to me that a little. thing. like . my parents were atheists it's a sin they were among those people who with bills to save you had to union realty and in those days it wasn't all that easy to express your faith the adult here in the twentieth century what the good old days when i started to live on my own even when i was baptized that's when i was twenty six years old. it was abundantly clear to me that if i had a guardian angel who was looking over me and protecting my. views and hurting his feelings would really not be a nice thing to do and wish to leave i felt that i would offend him if i didn't join the also doc's church with of them. fish and if the happiest i. look at that across here in this holy place is that the what the law says see the entire family of royal musses was murdered in nineteen e

i am not playing that. frig you again! 'cause listen! that is 100% my song! >> jimmy: you just played that song! e a guest on my show. >> [ bleep ] damn you. [ laughter ] i'm not kidding! [ cheers and applause ] listen to me! listen to me! that is my -- oh, man. that is 100% about my experiences as a writer and a traveler. >> jimmy: hey, alfonso ribeiro called from the '80s. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> you don't think i know who that is, do you? >> jimmy: it doesn't matter 'cause he didn't leave a message. all he wanted to say was write an original song, you jerk. >> oh! >> jimmy: hey. i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. come on, hey. do you want to be brothers? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: absolutely. >> yeah. you've got a giggle cookie on. who's got a giggle cookie on? >> jimmy: get my -- [ laughter ] look, man. hey. you got any songs about listening -- that's not about listening to "all-star" by smash mouth? >> yes. >> jimmy: i'd love to hear it. these guys would love to hear it. >> fair enough. [ cheers and applause ] you're too kind. you're all just too kind. thank you. thank you. this little dit

but, i listen to your points, commissioner hyde and i think that they were well taken. that is my two cents. >> okay, any other commissioners have comments? >> to me, the security part of it, if there is a certain capacity in having a security outside, should be, you know, limiting the amount of people that go in. you know, so you have two security, one inside, to protect the business and the other one to protect the outside. and if there is a certain amount of capacity it should not be cramming everybody in because there will be another fight on the inside. s so i would just say that if there is some improvements there, if we are going to do this. that you know, they still have their security, but, maybe some procedural changes. >> well, i think, too, look at it that when you people are inside. i mean these people are just ordering food and i don't believe that i have heard of any problems right in the lobby of the place. so, it just goes to benefit the neighborhood by having people inside instead of standing around outside. >> especially at that time of night. so that

listening. tavis: right. >> i highly recommend listening. we have one rule in the chiklis house and i've always told my kids. tavis: but it's really not chickless house. bud-ump-ump, okay. >> if you tell me the truth, you'll never get in trouble. it's the only rule in my house since they were tiny. tavis: whatever the truth is? >> yes. tell me the truth and we'll make it better. my job in life is to make it better. tavis: mom? mom? did you hear that? dad, did you hear that? way too late now. that didn't quite work out. you told the truth and you still got a beat-down, but i digress. go ahead, yeah. >> it's worked out really well. as a consequence, my children come to me with everything and we just talk and i listen to them. knowing their mind is a big deal. i think a lot of - you can't help it as a parent to have the instinct to want to like offload every lesson you've ever learned, impart everything to your children so you end up pontificating a lot, just talking at them, and they just shut their heads off. i'm not saying i'm a perfect pare

i listened to one hearing. i sat in one of the assessment board hearings, on the same street, a condo on the same street being reassessed. one was fronting positive, another fronting something that was taking away from the value. they need education. when you go through the first process there is a checklist as to what you should be bringing in if you're going to the hearing. >> thank you so much. thank you ms. nelson. next we have shawn ridgell. okay. next we have daniel hershkowitz. >> how do you do? >> how do you do. >> please ask me the same question at the end. i am a real estate attorney and arrested broker in san francisco. i have been here for half of my life, true in a couple of months. i have been a real estate attorney for the last 15 years here san francisco and for a few years in oakland. for the last 12 years i have worked primarily as a real estate broker. i have quite a bit of experience with the appraisal process. i am a homeowner here in san francisco. that is in true; i have been a renter for
