The Jazz Boom Was Goin'

I Finally Decided If I Was Going To Make A Living, I Was Gonna Have To Come To New York.

I'm Not Inspired By Songwriting At All; That Took Place Years Ago. I'm Pretty Well Established, As Far As My Influences Go. I Don't Listen To Music Anymore. It All Sounds The Same To Me.

[the Producer Told Me:] "we Can Try One More Record, And We'll See How That One Does." Those Records Never Did Anything. My Music Never Got Mentioned. My Color Got Mentioned.

The Idea Was I'd Never Amount To Anything In Music, The Theme There Was That I Was Talented, But I Wouldn't Work Hard Enough To Do Anything With It.

I Don't Care What Anyone Does, As Long As They Go Through The Copyright Office.
