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

I have no idea how I do anything. I never have. You know I just started playing guitar and started singing and started working on this act that I would call "Don McLean" when I was probably in high school. And I have been doing this for 40 years, adding songs and writing things, cobbling together albums, doing live things, you know, albums and tours. And then I have records on the charts. I have no idea how this happened.

I got my first guitar when I was 16. I'd play for my family and friends, but taking that guitar out there into the wide, wide world wasn't something I ever thought about.

Each thread of life that you leave, will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs.

The kids today all seem to think they should be stars, but I wasn't brought up that way.

Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze reflect Vincent's eyes of china blue.

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