I Love The Young People.

The Requests Started Coming In From Other Prisoners All Over The United States. And Then The Word Got Around. So I Always Wanted To Record That, You Know, To Record A Show Because Of The Reaction I Got. It Was Far And Above Anything I Had Ever Had In My Life, The Complete Explosion Of Noise And Reaction That They Gave Me With Every Song. So Then I Came Back The Next Year And Played The Prison Again, The New Year's Day Show, Came Back Again A Third Year And Did The Show.

[my Father] Did Every Kind Of Work Imaginable From Painting To Shoveling To Herding Cattle. And He's Always Been Such An Inspiration To Me Because Of The Very Kinds Of Things That He Did And The Kind Of Life He Lived.

I Love The Freedoms We Got In This Country, I Appreciate Your Freedom To Burn Your Flag If You Want To, But I Really Appreciate My Right To Bear Arms So I Can Shoot You If You Try To Burn Mine.
