If you asked me to write a rock song or a rap song, I couldn't do it because they're not in my fingers.

Disclaimer: If anyone disagrees with anything I say, I am quite prepared to not only retract it, but also to deny under oath I ever said it.

Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it.

On my income tax 1040 it says 'Check this box if you are blind.' I wanted to put a check mark about three inches away.

As for language, almost everything goes now. That is not to say that verbal taboos have disappeared, but merely that they have shifted somewhat. In my youth, for example, there were certain words you couldn't say in front of a girl; now you can say them, but you can't say 'girl'.

I'm not an original composer. The tunes are not stolen from other tunes necessarily except in a few cases, but they're in the style of songs that I grew up with.
