All These Fifty-year-old Guys Wearing Baseball Caps

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.

In My Experience Lust Only Ever Leads To Misery. All That Suspicion And Jealousy And Anguish It Unleashes. I Don't Want Those Things In My Life.

I Feel Displaced When I'm Back In America, Like A Visitor. I Feel Like If I Don't Get A Cup Of Tea I'm Going To Lose My Mind.

There's This Celebrity Thing That Goes Along With Making Records Or Being A Rock Star. I'm Into This Celebrity Thing Just Enough To Let Me Go On Making Records And Making A Living Out Of It.

I Think If I Lost An Edge, Or The Music Didn't Have The Aggression Or Whatever, Which Is Maybe One Of The Hallmarks Of What I Do, If Indeed It Is, I Still Think If You Have Something Original In What You Do And You Keep Doing That, Then You're All Right.
