The More I Learn, The More Excited

The Battle Against The Dark One And The Clinging To The Right One Is What My Life Is About.

Sam [phillips] Wanted I Walk The Line Up - You Know, Up-tempo. And I Put Paper In The Strings Of My Guitar To Get That (vocalizing) Sound, And With The Bass And The Lead Guitar, There It Was. Bare And Stark, That Song Was When It Was Released. And I Heard It On The Radio And I Really Didn't Like It, And I Called Sam Phillips And Asked Him Please Not To Send Out Any More Records Of That Song.

So I Simply Don't Buy The Concept Of "generation X" As The "lost Generation." I See Too Many Good Kids Out There, Kids Who Are Ready And Willing To Do The Right Thing, Just As Jack Was. Their Distractions Are Greater, Though. There's No More Simple Life With Simple Choices For The Young.

I Always Loved Those Songs. And With My High Tenor, I Thought I Was Pretty Good - You Know? - Almost As Good As Dennis Day.

When I Get An Idea For A Song It Would Gel In My Mind For Weeks Or Months, And Then One Day Just Like That, Ill Write It.
