I am a fan of history.

After I retired and came off the road, I gathered up all my musical instruments and suddenly, I wanted them all to be perfect.

I was well traveled, and I created this illusion of literacy through reading and writing. I wrote a book of short stories.

Is this really Butte, Montana, or just existential blues?

A song is a poem set to music.

Young kids are doing the same thing I did, but they're doing it differently. They don't do brain surgery the way they used to do it either.

I never fixed a story. I didn't make judgments, I let the listener make judgments. When I got to the end of the story, if it had a moral, I let the listener find it.
