From 1958 to 1964, that's real rock n' roll. Then the Beatles hit and everyone sounded like them.

I know it sounds corny, man, but I like to bring folks joy, and I like to have a good time. I know folks like to be with somebody who's having a good time. You sure as hell don't want to be with somebody who's having a bad day.

We are put on this earth to have a good time. This makes other people feel good. And the cycle continues.
