I Am So Happy That I Am

I Was Originally Like A Punker, Know What I Mean, Like The Punks Are Today, I'd Spit In A Minute.

In Some Ways, It's My Rage That Keeps Me Going.

When I'm Performing For The People, I Am Me, Then. I Am That Little Girl Who, When She Was Five Years Old, Used To Sing At Church. Or I'm That 15-year-old Young Lady Who Wanted To Be Grown And Wanted To Sing And Couldn't Wait To Be Smokin' A Cigarette, You Know?

Now I Can Stand Up On The Stage Again Like I Used To After Five Years Of Sitting Down While I Sang.

Johnny Guitar... Just One Of My Favorite Singers Of All Time. I Met Him When We Were Both On The Road With Johnny Otis In The '50s When I Was A Teenager. We Traveled The Country In A Car Together.i Would Hear Him Sing Every Night.
