I Never Sit Down And Write. I

I Remember The First Check I Got From The Who's Recording [of "young Man Blues"]. I'd Been Getting Checks For $10 And $15 And So Forth, And This One Was For A Much Larger Amount Than That. I Thought It Was A Mistake.

I Never Bothered About Keeping Track.every Now And Then Someone Records One Of My Songs, And I Get Credit For It.

I'm Playin' The Music I Like.

I Didn't Feel Anything [frustraiting]. I Just Kept Working 110 Or 120 Nights A Year.

The Idea Was I'd Never Amount To Anything In Music, The Theme There Was That I Was Talented, But I Wouldn't Work Hard Enough To Do Anything With It.
