I joined a band because I didn’t like school, and there’s nothing else I’d rather have done. If I really wanted to make money, I’d be in real estate. But I’m rich enough. I have a son and daughter, a lovely home, and if I see something I like, I can buy it. That’s rich enough.

Moving is easy, exciting, an adventure – when you’re young. Later, not so much. I love Massachusetts, my old home. Sometimes, late at night, I even study the real estate ads in my old hometown.

My mother raised two children on a housing estate, in a place where people said once you got on, you never got off. And she believed in me. So when people tell you that you can’t, you can.

There is no tax policy that better describes how out of touch America’s liberals are with the rest of the country than the estate tax.
