"I'm surprised at how, for many, the moral outrage over Bill Clinton's tenure is far greater than Trump's, which boggles my mind.
It boggles my mind, and we talk about that in the book. I've been saying this lately, so I should really give you a better soundbite. But what the right hand is doing and what the left hand is doing... Right now, I have no idea what the left hand of the government is doing. I'm not talking about sides of the aisle. I'm talking about the narrative around the pandemic that comes out and is politicized. I have no idea what they're doing with the policies and who's really getting the money. In situations like this, the concern is that there are people who will use an unprecedented crisis to seize more power. That's how authoritarians work, and we've got a gaggle of them up in Washington. They're not all men either!
People from other cultures who have lived under such regimes and are living here now can spot that. I know people who have. People who don't know about or haven't experienced that don't understand.
That's interesting. When we were touring that fall [after 9/11] and he [Bush] announced invading Afghanistan, I was playing two nights at the Daughters of The American Revolution Constitution Hall [in D.C.]. It was just intriguing how people were warning me that something else was coming. It's proven to be true that they were talking about Iraq the day of, when you read books about that time. It's hard to sometimes frame the times that we're in, but we have to document them as artists. I think that is our responsibility. That's what Scarlet's Walk was trying to do, anyway. I should have known when "Imagine" had been banned [from radio airplay] what was coming. That's pretty much all you need to know as a songwriter. When a song like that is banned, then you begin to understand what [certain] people are thinking—we do not want a peaceful world, the last thing we want is a peaceful global world. I should have understood the depravity of that move then. As a Scorpio rising, I should have f**king gotten that.
You've talked about the narrative with billionaires deciding to be more transparent about who they are. I've noted that they have seduced people into thinking that if you give them the money and the power, maybe they'll get a taste of it, which never happens.
Even Bush Sr. said that was "Voodoo economics," the Reagan economic policy. And at least for a few minutes there, he called it like it was. You can just watch how the oligarchs work. The Russians had warned me when I was there in 2014 that anybody can be groomed. I thought, "No," and they said, "Really, Amos, you've got to think this through." Neil deGrasse Tyson is doing a masterclass right now, and I might just take it. He's talking about how you have to learn how to question things. We think sometimes that we can't be groomed. That's the greatest mistake the Russian people were warning me when I was there, and Russia had just invaded Ukraine. Ukrainians were telling me the same—"You guys in the States, you just really don't get how good at propaganda Russia is."
