Curiosity provoked me to lay a lot of our country stuff on our predominantly black audience and some of our black audience began whispering "who is that black hillbilly at the Cosmo?"

If the people in the audience are talking, you're being ignored. If the people are gazing at you, you've got something they want to hear.

Sometime we'll try and reach for things we know we each want and don't deserve.

There have been so many empires, kings are kinda going out of style.

Could you imagine the way I felt, I couldn't unfasten her safety belt. All the way home I held a grudge, for the safety belt that wouldn't budge.

I'm a millionaire, but I cut the grass. And each time I cut it, it's my grass. And that is satisfying.

Hail, hail rock and roll / Deliver me from the days of old.
