Look around and you will see this world is full of creeps like me.
You can't second-guess your audience. You can only do what you think is right. If you do that, your audience will appreciate you
Somehow you can tell the difference when a song is written just to get on the radio and when what someone does is their whole life. That comes through in Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson. There is no separating their life from their music.
Writin songs is like a mystery. The most difficult thing to do is have a good idea. If you have a decent idea, the songs are the easy part. Actually having something to say is the hard part. If you get an idea for a song, then it pulls you along. There are just some ideas that you get that are really hard to edit out; it's hard to stop thinking about some bad ideas. So you just finish it and you end up putting it on a record.
If you forget the words to your own song, you can always claim artistic license. Forget the words to the national anthem and you're screwed.
Home is where my horse is.
Man, I need to impress her, cause I'd like to undress her.
You don't have to have anything in common with people you've known since you were five. With old friends, you've got your whole life in common.
What would we do if we didn't try? We have to try.
If it's not too late, make it a cheese-burger
That's right, you're not from Texas. But Texas wants you anyways.
