The Two Things You Can't Fake Are

The Music Was Thunder And Joy. Lightning Bolts Of Happiness And Praise, Foot-stomping, Dance-shouting, Good-feeling Singing From The Soul.

I Was A Sloppy Kid, Wanted To Be Just Wild.

I Am So Happy That I Am Alive And Can Walk.

When I'm Performing For The People, I Am Me, Then. I Am That Little Girl Who, When She Was Five Years Old, Used To Sing At Church. Or I'm That 15-year-old Young Lady Who Wanted To Be Grown And Wanted To Sing And Couldn't Wait To Be Smokin' A Cigarette, You Know?

Most Of The Songs I Sing Have That Blues Feeling In It. They Have That Sorry Feeling. And I Don't Know What I'm Sorry About. I Don't.
