bang break forth glass head steps trying
It would go back and forth between the two of us and then it would go over here and bang its head on the steps trying to break the glass off.
I've always felt outside of things; I've always felt different.
deeper helped obama voted
I voted for Obama. I was very happy when he won. But Obama hasn't really been able to effectively do anything that has made me... He hasn't helped the environment. He didn't close Guantanamo Bay. He went deeper into Afghanistan.
four hours life rhythm roll
You're not a rock n' roll person four hours a day or even when you're on stage. It's become the rhythm of your whole life.

I work to Glenn Gould in the morning and go to sleep listening to Parsifal.

I have bigger concerns than what pop stars are doing. I'm more concerned about our environment, what industrialists are doing to it.
jim love loved poetry work
I didn't love Jim Morrison 'cause he was self-destructive. I loved him because of his work. Because of the way he merged poetry and rock-and-roll. Because he did something new.

I don't expect a big crowd. But hopefully if this first meeting is interesting the word will spread.

My dad got a job in a factory in Philadelphia, so I was raised in Germantown in a sort of a barracks for soldiers. They had housing for temporary housing. And then my parents saved money and bought a little house in South Jersey, built on a swamp.
believe cover djs job label lose music sing songs
I don't believe any artist who says, 'I had to do that because DJs will tell me I can't play that music. I will lose my job.' Well, lose the job and create a new job. If your label won't let you have the cover you want or sing the songs you want, then leave!
continue work
I am still a very optimistic person. I continue to do work with joy.

People wouldn't know this about me, but I adore ball gowns. I love their cut, their architecture and the thought of the hands of so many seamstresses working on them.
