Roger. Clear the tower. I got a pitch and a roll program, and this baby's really going.

David and Goliath. I didn't think Roger was at his best, to be honest with you. But I think it is a thrill for us to beat him. I think the guys have got to feel good about themselves. He's a Hall of Fame pitcher, and we beat him.

What would rock and roll be without ambition, craziness, danger, and fun?

The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

I fully expect that NASA will send me back to the moon as they treated Sen. Glenn, and if they don't do otherwise, why, then I'll have to do it myself.

The flight was extremely normal . . . for the first 36 seconds then after that got very interesting.
