A Ballad Once In A While Doesn't

I Don't Wish To Embarrass Anyone.

I Don't Listen To Music, And I Don't Particularly Watch Television, So If Anyone Wants To Come Over And Just Hang Out With Me Sitting At The Table In Silence, You Know, Eating A Dish Of Rice... I Don't Get Too Many Takers.

I Hope There Is An Edge To What I Do.

I Preferred Rock When It Was In The Dark, When It Was A Secret Between Me And The Audience, When It Wasn't Mainstream.

I Was Never Too Interested In High School. I Mean, I Never Went To A Dance, I Never Went Out On A Date, I Never Went Steady. It Became Pretty Awful For Me. Except, Of Course, I Could Go See Bands, And That Was The Kick. I Used To Go To Cleveland Just To See Any Band. So I Was In Love A Lot Of The Time, But Mostly With Guys In Bands That I Had Never Met. For Me, Knowing That Brian Jones Was Out There, And Later That Iggy Pop Was Out There, Made It Kind Of Hard For Me To Get Too Interested In The Guys That Were Around Me. I Had, Uh, Bigger Things In Mind.
