I'm The Star Of Stage,

I Got By As A Musician Since Day One. I Don't Live Beyond My Means. I Have Real Cheap Tastes.

I'm A Natural Ham. It Doesn't Bother Me To Perform.

I've Been Gone On The Road For The Past Three Years; Maybe I've Been Home For Two Or Three Weeks In A Year. I Literally Live - It's Like One Of Those Old Movies Where They Show A Train, And Pages Of A Calendar Are Peeling Away Like Leaves, And Then There's A Picture Of Me With Gray Hair.

I Remember Listening To The Radio As A Kid And Finding That The Songs Always Made Me Feel More Peaceful. Funny, But The More Hurtin' The Music Was, The Better It Made Me Feel. I Think Of That Now When I Write My Songs. I May Not Be Feelin' The Blues Myself, But I'm Writing Them For Other People Who Have A Hard Life.

I Talk To People Who Are Musicians, And They Go, Oh This Is Hell. And I Go, Are You Kidding Me? You Never Put Tar Paper On A Roof, Did Ya?
