I think of rock 'n' roll as a combination of country blues and swing band music, not Chicago blues, and modern pop.

They're selling postcards of the hanging.

I'm in love with my second cousin.

Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people, they're drinking, thinking that they got it made. Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things, but you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it, babe.

Up north, you could find these radio stations with no name on the dials that played pre-rock 'n' roll things - country blues. We would hear Slim Harpo or Lightnin' Slim and gospel groups, the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Five Blind Boys of Alabama. I was so far north, I didn't even know where Alabama was.

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed, dignity never been photographed.
