The service at the Imperial (Tokyo) is the finest I've encountered anywhere. There was a button next to my bed marked ROOM SERVICE - and a maid to press it for me.
Rock and roll is catching on all over . . . France . . . England . . . They even have it in Japan, only over there they call it judo.
The old water heater in my dressing room was working, but it was kind of tired. It gave off about as much warmth as an agent's handshake.
Sure, we did need the oil in America. How else could Dolly Parton get into some of her dresses?
Some people put us down. But I still haven't heard of any Americans trying to swim across the border into Mexico!
