Don't wait for answers, just take your chances. Don't ask me why.
In every heart there is a room, A sanctuary safe and strong, To heal the wounds from lovers past, Until a new one comes along
Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue...
I've reached the age where competence is a turn-on.
So I would choose to be with you, That's if the choice were mine to make, But you can make decisions too, And you can have this heart to break
The whole world loves American movies, blue jeans, jazz and rock and roll. It is probably a better way to get to know our country than by what politicians or airline commercials represent.
Hot funk, cold punk, even if it's old junk, it's still rock and roll to me.
Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

Everybody is different. Some writers can write reams of great books and then J. D. Salinger wrote just a few. Beethoven wrote nine symphonies. They were all phenomenal. Mozart wrote some 40 symphonies, and they were all phenomenal. That doesn't mean Beethoven was a lesser writer, it's just some guys are capable of more productivity, some guys take more time.

Take risks. Take chances. Don't be afraid. You gotta go into life brave.
Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn't try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are.
