You Know, The Man's Best

I Recently Found Myself Going Through A Period Of Uncertainty About My Future As A Performer, My Status As A Personality, The Believability Of My Christian Witness And The Knowledge Of God's Will In My Life. I Felt A Force Bigger Than Myself Saying, 'lay Back. Take It Easy. Study Hard. Read Your Bible. Think, Write And Keep Your Mouth Shut For Awhile.'

Sam [phillips] Wanted I Walk The Line Up - You Know, Up-tempo. And I Put Paper In The Strings Of My Guitar To Get That (vocalizing) Sound, And With The Bass And The Lead Guitar, There It Was. Bare And Stark, That Song Was When It Was Released. And I Heard It On The Radio And I Really Didn't Like It, And I Called Sam Phillips And Asked Him Please Not To Send Out Any More Records Of That Song.

Sam Phillips Responded Most To A Song Of Mine Called, "hey Porter," Which Was On The First Record.

A Person Knows When It Just Seems To Feel Right To Them. Listen To Your Heart.

Some Gal Would Giggle And I'd Get Red, And Some Guy'd Laugh And I'd Bust His Head. I Tell Ya, Life Ain't Easy For A Boy Named Sue.
