Patsy Cline belongs shoulder-to-shoulder with Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.

Those days she was just a beautiful girl, now she's framed and hung up.

Though the passion still flutters and flickers, it never got into our knickers.

What do we care, if the world is a joke? We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke. Death wears a big hat cause he's a big bloke.

I don't think I was ever particularly mean. I can certainly think of some idiotic exchanges I've had. I was accused of destroying pop music, like Wagner destroyed opera - a guy in Germany started ranting that at me.

Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal. I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel.

My ultimate vocation in life is to be an irritant.
