I Hope I'm An Integrous Person Who

I'm Sure I Would Have Been Considered A More Significant Artist If I Was A Singer-songwriter. It's Just Not The Way I Roll. I Love Being A Curator And A Musicologist. People Write Me Letters And Thank Me For Turning Them On To Fred Mcdowell And Sippie Wallace, And That's Partly My Job This Time Around.

I Was Offered To Take Over For Reba In 'annie Get Your Gun,' But It Wasn't Where I Wanted To Be. I Think My Fans Would Be Upset If I Confined My Shows To One City For A Long Period Of Time.

Elvis Might Have Compromised His Musical Style A Bit Towards The End, But That Doesn't Mean That Artists From The Rock N' Roll/folk-roots Culture - Of Which He Was Not Really A Part - Shouldn't Get Better As They Get Older, Like The Great Jazz Or Blues Artists.

I Never Saw Music In Terms Of Men And Women Or Black And White. There Was Just Cool And Uncool.

I'll Close My Eyes, So I Won't See, All Of The Love That You Don't Feel For Me.
