Musically, He Was Like An Old Man

I Just Managed To Convince My Grandmother That It Was A Worth While That Was Something To Do, You Know, And When I Did Finally Get The Guitar, It Didn't Seem That Difficult To Me, To Be Able To Make A Good Noise Out Of It.

This Moment In Time, On This Tour, You Know, I'm Discovering A Lot Of New Things. And To Be 45 And Doing That, It's A Mixture Of Pleasure And Pain, I Can Assure You.

From The Beginning, I Knew Intuitively That If Nothing Else, Music Was Safe, And That Nobody Could Tell Me Anything About It. Music Didn't Need A Middleman, Whereas All The Other Things In School Needed Some Kind Of Explanation.

My Driving Philosophy About Making Music Is That You Can Reduce It All Down To One Note If That Note Is Played With The Right Kind Of Sincerity.

The Thing About Pessimism Is That In Most Cases It's Nothing More Than A Front Behind Which A Body Can Hide Its Most Sweetful Yet Painful Hopes. Please Forgive Mine.
