You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.

When I first started drinking, everybody was doing it. That was before they discovered marijuana and all that. It was the late 50s, early 60s - it was the beginnings of the rock 'n' roll era. The main drink was like wine. And even that was a romantic throwback to something.
A lot of things come together to make up a song. It's just images.
I can see more naturalness in basic blues, basic R & B, basic rock 'n' roll.
If the spirit comes through in a Madame George type of song, that's what the spirit says. You have very little to do with it. You're like an instrument for what's coming through.
