In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.

I remember back in Detroit, I used to go to the Apex Bar every night after I got off work. The bartender there used to call me Boom Boom. I don't know why, but he did.

Ron Thompson, he's my main man!

I like dropping into a small club and playing with some people, trying to help them get a start.

All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.

I don't do nothin’ I don't want to do.

I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune.
