I Got A Girl Named Bony Maronie,

Rock 'n' Roll Offered Me A Platform To Speak What I Felt. It Also Offered Me A Platform To Support My Mama And My Brothers And Sisters - Twelve Children.

People Called Rock & Roll 'african Music.' They Called It 'voodoo Music.' They Said That It Would Drive The Kids Insane. They Said That It Was Just A Flash In The Pan - The Same Thing That They Always Used To Say About Hip-hop.

I Was Really Kind Of Shy As A Child. But I Would Do Things For Attention.

I Invented Rock & Roll. Jimi Hendrix Was My Guitar Player. James Brown Was My Vocalist.

A Lot Of Songs I Sang To Crowds To Get Their Reaction. That's How I Knew They'd Hit.
