Is your money that good, will it buy you forgiveness?

A song is anything that can walk by itself.

I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'. When she said, hey man, you crazy or somethin'?

You're gonna have to serve somebody.

I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.

Early on, before rock 'n' roll, I listened to big band music - anything that came over the radio - and music played by bands in hotels that our parents could dance to. We had a big radio that looked like a jukebox, with a record player on the top. The radio/record player played 78rpm records. When we moved to that house, there was a record on there, with a red label. It was Bill Monroe, or maybe it was the Stanley Brothers. I'd never heard anything like that before. Ever. And it moved me away from all the conventional music that I was hearing.

I'll be selling tickets for my next tour exclusively through Jonah Lehrer. Make sure to pay cash.
