“It’s easier to be me than someone else. But just like most famous people, I just want to be left alone most of the time.”“Todays the day gonna grab my trombone and blow” Thunder on the Mountain”“Serve God and be cheerful, look upward, beyond, beyond the darkness of masks, the surprises of dawn, in the deep green grasses of the blood-stained world.”“A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit To satisfy, insure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget That it is not he or she or them or it that you belong to…”“The dominant myth of the day seemed to be that anybody could do anything, even go to the moon.

If you were a housewife, you could become a glamour girl with rhinestone sunglasses. Are you slow witted? No worries -you can be an intellectual genius. If you’re old, you can be young.
