I Feel Great That I've Been Given

I'm Really Still A Child Of The Forties. I Still Think About It A Lot, About The Repercussions Of Armed Conflict. Until 1953 We Had Rationing. We Couldn't Buy Meat, We Couldn't Buy Pleasurable Goods Like Cigarettes And Sweets. I Didn't Starve - My Family Were Lucky - But I Knew What It Was Like Standing In Line Waiting For Foodstuffs.

Through It All, This Wild Life On And Off The Road , Through Jordanian Deserts , Spanish Islands, German Prisons, Caribbean Tax Scams, Halls Of Fame,wine, Women, And All The Drugs Under The Sun - One Constant Companion Has Never Abandoned Me . My First True Love : Singing Its Been The Savior Of Many Poor Boy, And God I Know I'm One

I Have A Life Beyond Performance. I Love It, And It Probably Is The Better Part Of My Life, But I Do Have Another Life.

On Memorial Day, I Don't Want To Only Remember The Combatants. There Were Also Those Who Came Out Of The Trenches As Writers And Poets, Who Started Preaching Peace, Men And Women Who Have Made This World A Kinder Place To Live.

From My Personal Point Of View, The Animals Are Dead. They Killed Themselves.
