A Ballad Once In A While Doesn't

I'm 34 Now, I Like To Say 35 Because It Makes Me Look Better For My Age, And I Have To Keep A Little Bit Of A Profile So That Every Three Years If I Do Put A Record Out, I Don't Have To Substantiate Where I've Been For Three Years And Why The Silence And The Sort Of False Mysterioso.

I Don't Like To Be Recognized On The Street Or In Restaurants, And I Don't Like The Whole Celebrity Thing.

Yeah, The Industry Has Always Been Both The Enemy And The Best Friend Of The Artist. They Need Each Other. That's The Bottom Line.

I Don't Like To Think That I'm On A Treadmill Of Album, Tour, Promotion And All That.

Remember Those Black-and-white Films With Frank Sinatra? Those Guys Looked Like Men And They Were Only 27! Listen To Otis Redding Singing 'try A Little Tenderness'. That Was A Man Who Understood What A Man Has To Know In The World. Show Me A Real Man Now! Where Are They?
