Hold it, Doc, a world war passed through my brain. He said, Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane.

The best songs are the songs you write that you don't know anything about. They're an escape.

It's not me, it's the songs. I'm just the postman, I deliver the songs. When I first heard Elvis' voice, I knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody ... hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail. This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway. People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.
