Most bands don't work out. A small unit democracy is very, very difficult.
On any given night, what allows me to get to that higher ground is the audience.
Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.
Certainly tolerance and acceptance were at the forefront of my music.
It's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin and can't stand the company.
Anyone who's grown up or lived on the Jersey Shore knows the place is unique.
It's always felt natural, because I'm generally very comfortable with people.
For me, I was somebody who was a smart young guy who didn't do very well in school. The basic system of education, I didn't fit in; my intelligence was elsewhere.
I spot a little stranger standing across the room, my brain takes a vacation just to give my heart more room.
We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie; Home's a long, long way from us. I feel a dirty wind blowing; Devils and dust.
She went away, she cut me like a knife Hello beautiful thing, maybe you could save my life In just a glance, down here on magic street Loves a fool's dance And I ain't got much sense, but I still got my feet.
The wise men were all fools, what to do?
Ought to be easy, ought to be simple enough: Man meets woman, and they fall in love, But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough. You got to learn to live with what you can't rise above.
Music was my way of keeping people from looking through and around me. I wanted the heavies to know I was around.
