When you get to readin' about where the music and John Steinbeck and all those people like that come from, the further you go the more interesting it becomes.

A kind farmer who appeared in my innocent colored dream
Alas! He called me by my name and introduced himself as 'Steinbeck'.
' Do you have any connection to John.Steinbeck? '
'Yes may be a far relative, I am L.L.Steinbeck, if you want in full
Lenin.Leon.Steinbeck.'
He brought me a large gunny bag which full of Idaho potatoes.
I said; 'Thanks a lot.'
'Why you suffocate here? ,
You should come to my state and engage in our farms.'
'Dear, I do not have the valid papers.'
Then he replied; ' Hey! Chum not to worry I have a good friend an old retired Coroner who will help you to get anytime a death certificate.'

Poetry Readers
Note-Rewrite of the hit song, Single Ladies.
My own twisted sense of humor hopefully comes through this piece
All you poetry readers (7X)
Now if my naughty poetry ways got you fed up
Throw your pens up
Up in this writer's club, gettin' 'em all choked up
Jealous
Cos I'm not afraid to be doin' my own thing
Makes ya wanna trip
Cos some big name publisher noticed me
I'm gettin' big notice from him, he gettin' big notice from me
Won't pay your childness any attention
Cuz I've paid my dues for 20 long years
Ya got no right to be mad at me
Chorus
Cuz if you don't like it then you shoud't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it
Wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh (2X)
Cuz if you don't like it then you shoud't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it
They got my name on their lips, payin' me the big tips
For my prose tighter then my Dereon jeans
Acting up, bet ya would love to spit in my coffee cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Not gonna pay your childness any attention
Cos you have't yet earned your turn
So now sit back, relax and learn
What a real writer is supposed to be
Cuz if you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it
Cuz if you don't like it then you shoud't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it
Wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
Don't try to hold me back from telling the real truth about the world
I'm just that kind of girl
You gotta deal with it
Fame is what I deserve, riches what I prefer
From this man who has promised that he will make me, take me
Deliver me to my destiny, to infinity and beyond
Fall to your knees
Beg me to forgive
Say that at last you've been owned
If you don't flip over your opinions of me
You'll soon be jobless and alone
And then like a ghost what little talents you do have will be gone
All the poetry readers (7X)
Now if you're fed up with me
Throw you pens up
Wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh (2X)
Cuz if you don't like it then you shoud't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it
Woo oh oh oh

In this business, my business, I get to meet all kinds of incredible people, fascinating people, glamorous people and sexy people and highly intellectual people. And you meet them and you go 'interesting, interesting, interesting'. They're interesting, but not very many people stop you in your tracks.

It was a really interesting time in New York in the late 70s and early 80s, and the music scene was really, really interesting because you didn't have to be a virtuoso to make music, it was more about your desire to express things.

There ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do. It's all part of the same thing. And some of the things folks do is nice, and some ain't nice, but that's as far as any man got a right to say.

One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom.

Paul Riser tells it in an interesting way; he dissects it and tells the structure, you know, 'you don't mention that part here.' But that's what's interesting about it and the people who are absent are interesting too.
