It's Strange What Desire Will Make Foolish

I Did All My Guitar Playing At My House. And Then Finally, I Was Throwing Hay And Stuff Working In Stockton And Somebody Offered - Somehow They Had Heard Me Singing At The House And Said: Hey, I'll Hire You For Our Fraternity Party Or Sorority Party. And I Said: Well, Are They Going To Pay Me? And He Said: Yeah, We'll Pay You 50 Bucks.

I Grew Up, I Was Going I Want To Be Jerry Lee Lewis. Only I Can't Play Piano And Sing That Good.

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 Wear A Lot Of Second Hand Clothes Unless I Have A Concert And Then I Wear Beaded And Sequined Second Hand Clothes. No Stylist Dresses Me Although I Do Have A Woman That Assists Me With The Buttons.

There Was A Misconception About Me When I Started Off Because I Had My Hair Greased Up And I Have Some Vague Resemblance To The Hillbilly Gene Pool That Elvis Came From. People Would Say, 'you Want To Be Elvis' And I Would Say, 'no'.
