I'd been to Memphis before, but we stayed out of Memphis early on in the late 70s for obvious reasons. People were very sensitive about Elvis Presley, and my stage name obviously would be provocative to some people in that area at that time.

The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town.

Funny, now I can see, how looks can be deceiving.

I feel like a juggler running out of hands.

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

There's no such thing as an original sin.

It's what I do. I don't deserve any awards for this, it's just music. It's just writing songs. You sit down, you write a song, you record it. You tour and play the songs live, dress them up a bit differently, or dress them down.
