Going to America increased the build up on me, especially as the war was going on there. In a way we'd turned out to be a Trojan horse. The 'Fab Four' moved right to the top and then sang about drugs and sex and then I got into more and more heavy stuff and that's when they started dropping us.

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace.

I don't stand back and judge - I do.

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.

Tame birds sing of freedom. Wild birds fly.
