Being rich and famous seems to have its ups and downs. That's the price you pay for being troubadours and clowns.

My only contact with the outside world was an RCA Victrola, and Elvis would sing, and then I'd dream about expensive cars.

I got my hush puppies on. I guess I never was made meant for glitter rock and roll.

Shells sink, dreams float. Life's good on our boat.

It's important to have as much fun as possible while we're here. It balances out the times when the minefield of life explodes.
