The Graduations Hang On The Wall, But

I Didn't Graduate High School, So I Never Got A Teacher's Education, I'm Mostly Self-read, Self-taught. I Always Loved Music, So I Would Probably Either Be In A Band With Another Group Of People, Or An Arranger, A Producer, A Musicologist, A Music History Guy, Something To Do With Music. Either That, Or I Would Probably Be In Jail. Or Dead.

I Had A Melody And A Rhythm And Chords, But Nothing To Talk About. I Remember Reading About How The Decline Of The Steel Industry Had Been Affecting The Lehigh Valley, And I Decided That's What I Was Going To Write The Song About.

Know What You Love And Do What You Love. If You Don't Do What You Love, You're Just Wasting Your Time.

I Consider Myself To Be An Inept Pianist, A Bad Singer, And A Merely Competent Songwriter. What I Do, In My Opinion, Is By No Means Extraordinary.

I Did Write A Letter To The Archdiocese Who'd Banned The Song, Only The Good Die Young, Asking Them To Ban My Next Record.
