You can speak your mind But not on my time.

Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?

Advice is cheap; you can take it from me.

I guess some people in classical music can keep going until they kick (die) and the (Rolling) Stones are definitely pushing the envelope but I wonder if here's a time when you have to face whether you are as good as you used to be.

Hot funk, cold punk, even if it's old junk, it's still rock and roll to me.
