And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Bad news on the doorstep;I couldn’t take one more step

Devoid of all romance, the music plays and everyone must dance. I'm bowing out.

I was always just into my music and maybe into trying to save the world a little bit. I never really thought I'd have a hit record or anything like that. I was prepared to travel around all over the country, kind of like a Johnny Appleseed, and sing.

I'm glad that my music has helped other people as it's helped me. It makes me glad that I did what I did with my life.

I don't relate to what's left of the music business. There doesn't seem to be any point to it anymore. The business that I grew up in and loved, we made records a different way - there were record companies, there were stores where you could buy albums.

Do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul?
