My Parents Wanted To Light My Artistic

The More Walking-around Money I Have, The Less I Walk Around.

I Never Had A Checkbook. It Used To Be Cash In Hand, Stuff In The Pocket, Or A Manager Would Keep Some Accounts And Give Me Money. I Started To Wonder What It Must Feel Like To Actually Make A Profit, Pay Taxes, And To Have A Phone Listing, And A Manager. And Also, I Was Sick Of Sleeping Around Every Night.

How Am I Going To Listen To That Horrible Noise I Make Without A Gram Of Coke And A Couple Of Double Jack Daniels?

My Parents Wanted To Light My Artistic Candle. But Over Time, The Definition Of 'the Arts' Began To Stretch. And As I Got Older, They Suddenly Realized, Oh, My God, We're The Parents Of Iggy Pop.

Miami Is Nothing Like Me, And Thats Why I Need To Be Here - Its The Opposite. Im Practical, Where This Place Is Moody, Im Stolid In My Interior, Where This Place Has A Certain Flair, And Im Materialistic In A Sense That This Place Is Fundamentally Spiritual - Theres A Quicksilver Quality About This Place.
