Rumble is the best instrumental ever.

I can picture the color of the song, or the shape of it, or who it is that I'm trying to appeal to, in the song, and what I'm trying to, almost, reinforce my feelings for. And I know that sounds sort of vague and abstract, but I've got a handle on it when I'm doing it.

Music attracts the angels in the universe.

I'm not a folk-singer. I just sing a certain place.

What politics I ever learned, I learned in the streets, because it was part of the environment.

I ain't saying you treated me unkind you could've done better, but I don't mind. You just kinda wasted my precious time. But don't think twice, it's alright.
