ifs
If you do right, everything will come out right.
bad-day men joy
I know it sounds corny, man, but I like to bring folks joy, and I like to have a good time. I know folks like to be with somebody who's having a good time. You sure as hell don't want to be with somebody who's having a bad day.
trying wavelength taught
I taught myself to tune in to another persons wavelength, figure out what they were looking for, and try to project that thing back at them.

I figure the oldies are real close to what rocking country use to be.
children silly thinking
I think the acts today get too much money. I really do. They wind up blowing it all anyway. It's silly to give children that much money.

My fake Japanese was smooth enough to earn me the title of 'The Emperor of Pleasing Graciousness' in that country.

It would take me three or four lifetimes to do everything I want. I'm a Brooklyn boy who learned to hustle, and I have to do something every day or I get the guilties.

I taught myself to tune in to another person's wavelength, figure out what they were looking for, and try to project that thing back at them.
counteract found letting mess people vulnerable
I don't want people mistreating me. I found out when you're vulnerable and your heart's open, then people step on you. You're really stupid for letting that happen. And the only way to counteract that is to be like Wolfman Jack. Because if you do nice, kind things for people, then how are they going to mess you over?

Some people said my acting was a cross between Euell Gibbons, Rodney Allen Rippy and Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.
country domestic either folks foreign life openly people secretly spirit
The one thing I've learned, getting out to all those foreign and domestic locales, is that people in every country of the 'civilized' world wish - either secretly or openly - that they had the expressiveness, the flair, the I'm-so-glad-to-be-me spirit that black folks have made a part of American life.
money
I'm very rich - in friends. I'm too nice a fellow. I give most of my money away.
country
When I started at XCRF in 1960, Mexico was the most lenient country in the world when it came to radio.
kids
Kids like classic rock, and so do adults.
