But I'm lost when it comes to you.
Well, I tried to get a record deal in 1966 or '67, and everyone thought I was too eclectic.
But when we listened to the radio, it was Bill Haley and the Comets or the Everly Brothers.
I feel that if John Wilkes Booth hadn't shot Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln would have come through his pain and emerged like Livingston has. This album was made with the wisdom that comes from allowing yourself to be recklessly entwined with your agony and sorrow.
The punishment doesn't fit the crime. I've done everything I can to get him out, or at least get him a fairer trial.
In other words, I built on what I had.
I had a mastectomy in 1998, and then chemo.

Not only does the punishment not fit the crime, but the mandatory minimums don't give judges any discretion to look at the background of the case, to read into the specifics of the case. I don't know a judge who really is in favor of the mandatory minimums.
I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say.
My scar is beautiful. It looks like an arrow.
You're so vain. I bet you think this song is about you.
One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.
