They don’t keep their promises in the promised land, its getting mighty hard to find an honest man Picture Quote #1

American Pie speaks to the loss that we feel. That’s why that song has found the niche that it has Picture Quote #1

But I knew - in the old days, if a song was a good song, I don’t care if it was ‘Yellow Submarine’ or, you know, or ‘The Times They Are a-Changin’ or ‘Don’t Be Cruel’, you knew it, you know? You heard that song, and you were talking about it, and you knew it Picture Quote #1

I don’t relate to what’s left of the music business. There doesn’t seem to be any point to it anymore. The business that I grew up in and loved, we made records a different way - there were record companies, there were stores where you could buy albums Picture Quote #1

I was always just into my music and maybe into trying to save the world a little bit. I never really thought I’d have a hit record or anything like that. I was prepared to travel around all over the country, kind of like a Johnny Appleseed, and sing Picture Quote #1

I had asthma when I was a kid, asthma so bad that it would turn into pneumonia and I almost died several times. Nobody knew why back then, but now it’s obvious Picture Quote #1

I think longevity is more important than trying to make people realize you’re around every second Picture Quote #1

I developed this fantasy world. I found that that was much more fun and more interesting and exciting than real life was to me. Then, once I got the guitar going when I was a teenager, I set sail for the direction I’ve been in my whole life Picture Quote #1

I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away. And the three men I admire most, The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, They caught the last train to the coast The day the music died Picture Quote #1

We all got up to dance. Oh, but we never got the chance! Picture Quote #1

I am what I do, and that’s partly why I don’t want to give up singing. But when I can’t sing well, I will Picture Quote #1
