“Idealistic ain’t blind - it just sees with both eyes closed and the heart wide open.”
I heard that from a waitress who wore rosary beads and roller skates.

Within each of us is a dark, selfish, insatiable #creature. The psychiatrists have names for it. But whatever it’s called, I know it’s there and I let it show itself in my music.

One hot, sleepless, summer night, I met a #creature rising slick from the swamp, fireflies circling his gospel crown. To my guitar chords, he moaned some kind of voodoo melody. Damned but, come morning, I forgot. Now, I can only catch random licks and riffs in my dreams.

My songs stagger in to the #business like drunks at a revival. They don’t dress right, don’t smile right, but they got heart. The suits and the money men want polish, I give ’em bone and thunder instead.
