Life is sad, life is a bust, all you can do is do what you must.

I lost my one true love. I started drinking.

In my childhood everything you heard, you could imagine what it looked like. Even singers that I would hear on the radio, I couldn't see what they looked like, so I imagined what they looked like. What they were wearing. What their movements were. Gene Vincent? When I first pictured him, he was a tall, lanky blond-haired guy.

My songs are personal music, they're not communal. I wouldn't want people singing along with me. It would sound funny. I'm not playing campfire meetings. I don't remember anyone singing along with Elvis, Carl Perkins or Little Richard.

People have different emotional levels. Especially when you're young.

God bless you all with peace, tranquility and good will.

The walls of pride are high and wide, can't see over to the other side.
