I played in front of every conceivable audience you could face: an all-black audience, all-white, firemen's fairs, policemen's balls, in front of supermarkets, bar mitzvahs, weddings, drive-in theaters. I'd seen it all before I ever walked into a recording studio.

I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart _x000D_ _x000D_ Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts.

Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell_x000D_ And I feel like I'm comin' home.

The artists we love, they put their fingerprint on your imagination, and on your heart and your soul.

Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.

I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.
