My Life Is A Crystal Teardrop. There

I Was Writing "diamonds And Rust' And It Had Nothing To Do With What It Turned Out To Be. I Don't Remember What It Is, But I Think I Was Writing A Song. It Was Literally Interrupted By A Phone Call, And It Just Took Another Curve And It Came Out To Be What It Was.

"diamonds & Rust" Started Off As Another Song. Then The Words Started To Morph. When You Write A Song That Deep, The Words Come From Some Place Else. But When The Songs Stop Coming, It Would Be So Contrived To Try And Force It. Since Then I've Just Been Doing Other People's Music.

Social Change Really Cannot Happen Unless People Are Willing To Take A Risk, And They Were. And I Was So Moved By That, And Of Course By The Way That He Spoke, That Made A Huge Dent In My Belief System And My Spirit.

It Seems To Me That Those Songs That Have Been Any Good, I Have Nothing Much To Do With The Writing Of Them. The Words Have Just Crawled Down My Sleeve And Come Out On The Page.

Mostly What I Listen To When I Turn On My Little Ipod Is Opera.
