But For Me At Any Rate It

Before Many Black Singers Were Still Labouring Under That Problem Of God; It Was Often 'god Will Save Us'. But Right Through The Blacks Were Singing Directly And Immediately About Their Pain And Also About Sex, Which Is Why I Like It.

The Magic Of The Music Seems To Light The Way.

You See, We're Influenced By Whatever's Going. Even If We're Not Influenced, We're All Going That Way At A Certain Time. If We Played A Stones Record Now -​ And A Beatles Record -​ And We've Been Way Apart,​ You'd Find A Lot Of Similarities. We're All Heavy. Just Heavy.

I'd Always Felt Repressed. We Were All So Pressurised That There Was Hardly Any Chance Of Expressing Ourselves, Especially Working At That Rate, Touring Continually And Always Kept In A Cocoon Of Myths And Dreams.

Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed.
