That's The Way You Judge A Car, Man, [good Or Bad], When You Start It Up. It's Just The Same Thing. I Mean, I Drive A Ferrari - Not To Be Cute, But Because I Dig It. I'd Rather Drive A Ten-year-old Ferrari Than One Of Them New Things-they Don't Go.

Monk Was A Gentle Person, Gentle And Beautiful, But He Was Strong As An Ox. And If I Had Ever Said Something About Punching Monk Out In Front Of His Face - And I Never Did - Then Somebody Should Have Just Come And Got Me And Taken Me To The Madhouse, Because Monk Could Have Just Picked My Little Ass Up And Thrown Me Through A Wall.

I Used To Enjoy All The White Bands When I Was A Kid Listening To The Radio. But The Record Companies, They Take Music And Label It - Like, They Say "rock". Because The White Singers Can't Sound Like James Brown, They Call Him "soul". They've Been Doing That For Years. That's The Prejudice Crap.
