Praise Doesn't Mean Anything To Me. I

It's Gotta Be Rock And Roll Music, If You Wanna Dance With Me.

Music Is Music And I Think Music People Are The Delivers, The Actors, When They Put Their Music Out They Want To Insert Their Character In It. So They Call It Such And Such So You Know How They Live So To Speak.

The Gateway To Freedom...was Somewhere Close To New Orleans Where Most Africans Were Sorted Through And Sold. I Had Driven Through New Orleans On Tour And I'd Been Told My Great Grandfather Had Lived Way Back Up In The Woods Among The Evergreens In A Log Cabin. I Revived The Era With A Song About A Coloured Boy Named Johnny B. Goode. My First Thought Was To Make His Life Follow As My Own Had Come Along, But I Thought It Would Seem Biased To White Fans To Say 'coloured Boy' And Changed It To 'country Boy'.

Sometime We'll Try And Reach For Things We Know We Each Want And Don't Deserve.
