[my Mother] Made The Money To Send

Everybody Was Wearing Rhinestones, All Those Sparkly Clothes, And Cowboy Boots. I Decided To Wear A Black Shirt And Pants And See If I Could Get By With It. I Did And I've Worn Black Clothes Ever Since.

I Read Novels But I Also Read The Bible. And Study It, You Know? And The More I Learn, The More Excited I Get.

I Love To Go To The Studio And Stay There 10 Or 12 Hours A Day. I Love It. What Is It? I Don't Know. It's Life.

I Wore Black Because I Liked It. I Still Do, And Wearing It Still Means Something To Me. It's Still My Symbol Of Rebellion -- Against A Stagnant Status Quo, Against Our Hypocritical Houses Of God, Against People Whose Minds Are Closed To Others' Ideas.

I'm So Uncomfortable Wearing Colors In Public. I Really Am. Even Denim. If I've Got A Day Off In A Town, I Want To Go Out For A Walk I'll Put On Denim. But Almost Everything I've Got The Black On.
