I Love The Young People.

The First Time I Knew What I Wanted To Do With My Life Was When I Was About Four Years Old. I Was Listening To An Old Victrola, Playing A Railroad Song...i Thought That Was The Most Wonderful, Amazing Thing...that You Could Take This Piece Of Wax And Music Would Come Out Of That Box. From That Day On, I Wanted To Sing On The Radio.

Some Gal Would Giggle And I'd Get Red, And Some Guy'd Laugh And I'd Bust His Head. I Tell Ya, Life Ain't Easy For A Boy Named Sue.

I Had A Song Called "folsom Prison Blues" That Was A Hit Just Before "i Walk The Line." And The People In Texas Heard About It At The State Prison And Got To Writing Me Letters Asking Me To Come Down There. So I Responded And Then The Warden Called Me And Asked If I Would Come Down And Do A Show For The Prisoners In Texas.

When I Hear That Whistle Blowing, I Hang My Head And Cry.

Rick Rubin Had His Hair - I Don't Think It's Ever Been Cut And Very - Dresses Like A Hobo, Usually - Clean But . Was The Kind Of Guy I Really Felt Comfortable With, Actually. I Think I Was More Comfortable With Him Than I Would Have Been With A Producer With A Suit On.
