All my life I just wanted to be a beatnik

”All my life I just wanted to be a beatnik. Meet all the heavies, get stoned, 
get laid, have a good time. That’s all I ever wanted. 

Except I knew I had a good voice and I could always get a couple of beers off of it. 
All of a sudden someone threw me in this rock ‘n’ roll band. 

They threw these musicians at me, man, and the sound was coming from behind. 
The bass was charging me. And I decided then and there that that was it. 

I never wanted to do anything else. It was better than it had been with any man, you know. 
Maybe that’s the trouble.”
