Music Is Life, And Life Is Not

Nobody Understands Me, I'm Really Sensitive.

The People Who Were Learning From Me Tended To Be More Commercial Performers Who Were Gonna Rip Off The Salient Idea To Do It In A Way That Will Sell, But They Weren't Going For The Music.

I Wasn't So Stupid That I Didn't Realize The Implications Of What They Were Saying. In My Live Work I Was Going For The Quick Thrill, Rather Than Spending Time Concentrating On My Voice. I Figured I'd Get On, Make As Many Quick Movement As Possible, Dance My Ass Off For Five Minutes, Move Into The Insult Portion Of The Evening, And Then, At The End, Create Some Kind Of Chaos Until The 55 Minutes Were Up.

I Stare At Myself In The Mirror And I Think, 'wow, I'm Really Great-looking.'... I Think I'm The Greatest, Anyway.

I Smoked This Joint And Then It Hit Me. I Thought, What You Gotta Do Is Play Your Own Simply Blues.
