All My Big Heroes Are

Most Of The Time When I Have Met Artists Who Have Meant A Lot To Me, The Experience Has Been Well Above Expectation. People Like Iggy, Lou Reed, Jerry Lee Lewis, Black Sabbath, Nick Cave, Hubert Selby Jr, Billy Gibbons, Al Pacino, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Johnny Cash Etc. Have Been Really Great To Me. What Strikes Me Is Most Of The Time, The Bigger The Celeb/legend, The More Polite And Cool They Are. It's The Insecure Ones Who Treat You Like They're Doing You A Favor By Shaking Your Hand.

Life Is A Hurdle And You'll Never Clear It. Death Is The End Of The Ride And You Fear It.

No Matter How Rough Things Can Be At Times, Many Americans Are Optimistic And On The Move.

When You Hear About What Someone Else Is Going Through, And You Are Unable To Distance Yourself From It Or In Any Way Muzzle Your Empathy And Are Inspired To Actually Do Something, These Are Moments To Learn From.

When You're Holding People's Attention, I Feel You Must Give Them High-quality Ingredients. They Deserve Nothing But Your Best. And If They Need Information, Get It, Cross-check It, And Try To Be Right. Do Not Waste Their Time; Do Not Enjoy The Ego Trip Of Being Onstage.
