Once I Get Onstage The Tension Explodes

The Way I See It, Rock & Roll Is Folk Music. Street Music. It Isn't Taught In School. It Has To Be Picked Up.

I Don't Know Whether I'll Reach 40. I Don't Know Whether I'll Reach 35. I Can't Be Sure About That. I Am Bloody Serious. I Am Very, Very Serious. I Didn't Think I'd Make 30.

This Week, I'm A Gypsy. Maybe Next Week It'll Be Glitter Rock.

I Remember One Particular Occasion When I Hadn't Played A Solo For, Quite Literally, A Couple Of Months. And I Was Asked To Play A Solo On A Rock & Roll Thing. I Played It And Felt That What I'd Done Was Absolute Crap. I Was So Disgusted With Myself That I Made My Mind Up That I Had To Get Out Of It. It Was Messing Me Right Up.

Actually, I'm Getting One Made Up With Eight Necks And I'm Going To Get A Wheelwright To Make A Big Rim Around It And Then I Can Do Cartwheels Off The Stage.
