dismiss paper people piece putting
There are people who'll dismiss me as 'just' a singer. That's how it is, how it's always been, but just because I'm not hunched over a piece of paper with a pen in my hand doesn't mean I'm not putting in the graft.
When I look back, I didn't take care of myself at all.
touring
Ive been touring now since about 68.

It's nice to get a response from the artists that I cover.

When I used to put an album out, I knew everyone on the charts. There weren't that many bands. Now, I couldn't even name half the new groups.
