It's my new single - please buy it so we can get Christmas gifts for the kids this year.

I'm glad I'm blind and can't see it.

We're stuck in fear and in not wanting to cross that most important bridge of understanding that we're more alike or not. We all cry, we all laugh.

Sometimes I wish I could drive a car, but I'm gonna drive a car one day, so I don't worry about that.

Blind don't mean you can't, you know, listen.

Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.

I want to take all the pain that I feel and celebrate and turn it around.

"No more to say, and nothing to weep for"

"Happiness exists I feel it. I cried for my soul, I cried for the world's soul. The world has a beautiful soul."

"Who’ll come lie down in the dark with me Belly to belly and knee to knee Who’ll look into my hooded eye Who’ll lie down under my darkened thigh?"

"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving..."

"America I've given you all and now I'm nothing... I can't stand my own mind. America when will we end the human war? Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb."

"With dreams, with drugs, with waking nightmares, alcohol and cock and endless balls"

"I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd."

"It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now."

"Everybody's serious but me."

"America I've given you all and now I'm nothing."

"I really believe, or want to believe, really I am nuts, otherwise I'll never be sane."

“There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all.”

The little cares that fretted me, I lost them yesterday Among the fields above the sea, Among the winds at play.

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

“Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood, and you’re the one I need.”

“Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, I got on my knees and told her that I was going to marry her some day. We were both married to someone else at the time. ‘Ring Of Fire’ — June and Merle Kilgore wrote that song for me – that’s the way our love affair was. We fell madly in love and we worked together all the time, toured together all the time, and when the tour was over we both had to go home to other people. It hurt.”

“When my wife died, I booked myself into the studio just to work, to occupy myself.”
