We did an album one time called White Mansions, about the civil war, but it was written by a guy from England. His looking at it from over there and it not being a part of his history made it so he could be objective.

I ain't got no reverse. I've learned, a little later in life, it works out pretty good to have one every once in a while.

The rock and roll spirit. I learned a lot of that because I worked with Buddy Holly. I played bass with him, and he taught me a lot about that.

I was king of the mountain for a long time, well, I don't want that no more. I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I'm really about.

Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today.

We got a lot of politicians up there on Capital Hill. Ain't it funny how they prosper while the country stands still?

So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.
