I Write My Own Songs, And I

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 Didn't Grow Up In The Typical Happy American Home, But Music Was Always A Safe And Wonderful Place For Me To Go.

I Don't Know What People Think In Making Record Is Like. But Basically, I Got A Bunch Of Spaghetti And Spaghetti Sauce, And The Whole Band Was Staying At My House And We Had A Ball.

When I Play It I Look Out And See People Hold On To Each Other And Dance Or Just Couples Leaning Into Each Other And Kiss. And I'll Go: 'you Know, I Could Have Worked Hard At School And Been A Dentist. But I'm So Glad I Didn't.' Because When I Look Out And See That I Feel Like The Pied Piper Of Love.

I Come From A Small Town And I Come From A Background Where We Didn't Have Money To Travel. I Thought I'd Have To Join The Military To Get To Europe. So I'm Thrilled To Travel.
