Elvis is my religion. But for him, I'd be selling encyclopedias right now.

You know hearts these days are cheap.

The songs themselves do broaden out as time passes and take on subtly different meanings, take on more meaning, I find.

You may not be able to hit all the notes. That's OK. You may not have the clearest tone. You may not have the greatest range. But if you can inhabit your song, you can communicate.
