I Just Want To Play

I Feel Displaced When I'm Back In America, Like A Visitor. I Feel Like If I Don't Get A Cup Of Tea I'm Going To Lose My Mind.

Remember Those Black-and-white Films With Frank Sinatra? Those Guys Looked Like Men And They Were Only 27! Listen To Otis Redding Singing 'try A Little Tenderness'. That Was A Man Who Understood What A Man Has To Know In The World. Show Me A Real Man Now! Where Are They?

I Was Never Too Interested In High School. I Mean, I Never Went To A Dance, I Never Went Out On A Date, I Never Went Steady. It Became Pretty Awful For Me. Except, Of Course, I Could Go See Bands, And That Was The Kick. I Used To Go To Cleveland Just To See Any Band. So I Was In Love A Lot Of The Time, But Mostly With Guys In Bands That I Had Never Met. For Me, Knowing That Brian Jones Was Out There, And Later That Iggy Pop Was Out There, Made It Kind Of Hard For Me To Get Too Interested In The Guys That Were Around Me. I Had, Uh, Bigger Things In Mind.

I Hope There Is An Edge To What I Do.

If You're Purely Derivative In What You Do, Then You Could Very Easily Get Lost Along The Way. But For Me, I Might Want To Even Do Something Else For A While.
