I have been hearing gossip and lies since I began working. When I was 17, I used to get very angry because I opened a magazine and I saw myself in a picture on a motorcycle, and the headline was, 'I'm getting married next month.'
I think it's your own choice if you turn from an angry young man to a bitter, old bastard.
There are so many people in Memphis who have real reasons to be angsty, but I was just a suburban white kid with all this misplaced rage.
I was an angry young man, a rebel without a cause, and I channeled my emotions into my music.
And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.
Much did I rage when young, Being by the world oppressed, But now with flattering tongue It speeds the parting guest.
I was bloody ill-tempered when I was young.
There are millions of kids who, naturally, if we could only remember how it is - you know, you resent authority, you are impatient for change, you want to fix things up.
