We did not get any money from the early records. It was all taken by crooked managers. It is just a gangster's paradise.

Long made it possible for me to get on records, so what little money he did take from me, if any at all, he was entitled to it. He didn't take something from me.

I'm just a very primitive, infantile folk singer.

Being big and famous doesn't get you more freedom, it gets you less.

When I lost the use of my hi-hat and bass drum legs, I became basically a singer. I was a drummer who did a bit of singing, and then I became a singer who did a bit of percussion.

I expect the market to do fairly well in the near term, especially as portfolio managers move money out of bonds back into equity. Then things will kind of flatten out.
