So Long, Mom I'm Off To Drop

If You Asked Me To Write A Rock Song Or A Rap Song, I Couldn't Do It Because They're Not In My Fingers.

The People Who Came To Hear Me Perform Or To Buy My Records Were Not The Type Who Would Be Offended [by The Song 'the Vatican Rag']. But I Gather That There Were Other People Who Were Offended.

The Audience Usually Has To Be With You, I'm Afraid. I Always Regarded Myself As Not Even Preaching To The Converted, I Was Titillating The Converted.

Things Are Much More Complicated. Feminism Versus Pornography, For Example. There Are A Lot Of Feminists Who Think It Is Bad, But Others Think It's Good. I Have Become, You Might Call It Mature - I Would Call It Senile - And I Can See Both Sides. But You Can't Write A Satirical Song With 'but On The Other Hand' In It, Or 'however'. It's Got To Be One-sided.

Filth, I'm Glad To Say, Is In The Mind Of The Beholder. When Correctly Viewed, Everything Is Lewd.
