I SAW my brother have an altercation one time. He hit a GUY with a left hook to the body and a RIGHT hand to the CHIN. He not only knocked the guy out, but out of wind. That STUCK with me. It scared me.
I was in STUDIO 54 one time; it was great. But I'm not a discotheque guy. Sometimes, if I had a NEW demo, I went to some discotheques to CHECK it out - SEE how the reactions of the people were. But just to DANCE, I rarely did that.
What is the luck of the DRAW that me - me - who finally writes a book, it comes out in the - in the - in the time, in the center of the first PANDEMIC, H1N1? And I'm GOING out on signings, and I'm going out to the PUBLIC. This is the one time when I need to be hermetically sealed.
I'm having the life that I kind of hoped I might have one TIME, you KNOW? I do feel LIKE I have a place here. And, at least, I deserve it, as much as ANYBODY else, HOPEFULLY.
I don't REALLY get EMBARRASSED a lot because I feel like life goes on. I mean, I FELL on stage one TIME; like, I tripped one time. My voice cracked... That's PRETTY embarrassing.
My WIFE one time got a fishbone stuck in her throat and had to FLY back to L.A. from Monte Carlo to have it taken out. I thought, 'Wow, what a GREATBLUESSONG!'
