My activism was, and is, unknown, unannounced, but somehow effective.

Have you seen 'American Idol' lately? I'm sure that some kids somewhere at this moment are thrashing themselves silly over what they call 'Rock n' Roll.

Through it all, this wild life on and off the road , through Jordanian deserts , Spanish islands, German prisons, Caribbean tax scams, halls of fame,wine, women, and all the drugs under the sun - one constant companion has never abandoned me . My first true love : singing Its been the savior of many poor boy, and God I know I'm one

I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.

My activism was, and is, unknown, unannounced, but somehow effective.

I feel great that I've been given a chance in the golden years of my life. To me, it's the last battle, and I've been given a chance to get stuck in some good armament, some good power, and there's a chance that now I can finish off my working years with my head held high.

It's more important what you leave to people on this planet. I want my legacy to exist now, currently, not after I'm gone.
