It was like Elvis came along and whispered some dream in everybody's ear
Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness, my sins are all I have.
The life of a rock & roll band will last as long as you can look down into the audience and see yourself.
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul.
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.
Born down in a dead man's town; The first kick I took was when I hit the ground. You end up like a dog that's been beat too much 'Til you spend half your life just covering up.
A great rock band searches for the same kind of combustible force that fueled the expansion of the universe after the big bang. You want the earth to shake and spit fire. You want the sky to split apart and for God to pour out.
I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.
They say "ya gotta stay hungry"... Hey Baby...I'm just about starvin' tonight!
Don't take yourself too seriously. And take yourself as seriously as death itself.
'Darkness on the Edge of Town' came out of a huge body of work that had tons of very happy songs.
You can't shut off the risk and the pain without losing the love that remains.
We gotta get out while we're young, 'cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
In the early years, I found a voice that was my voice and also partly my father's voice. But isn't that what you always do? Why do kids at 5 years old go into the closet and put their daddy's shoes on? Hey, my kids do it.
