rather not known the road making tapes and you know i'm talking about well i guess we all began i guess we all began in talking about this book with something you say about yourself in the book and where they do well into the back of the book now when you're talking do your son and you're making an acknowledgment to him worried about his education worried about his dedication to get loans through and doing the very best you can and you think you just have to tell him that you never graduate from us and that you've got it and if you have a ged and it seems to me that reading this book and i know you worked with les chaotic but really a simple eloquence as these stories unfold i really have to say how much admire the effort they put into the goal and all that it must have been a wonderful struggle for the thing about education for schools
and this week would screw all you can do is hang out with letters and the other version of let their kids hang out with somebody whose about that in and well and i went to all my life knowing and having a complex about it and wishing i had unleashed graduate from high school and it was a you know i'm going to some office and here i am a big shot chair and now hot on the country and make a lot of money and everything but a new orleans sound of that war there was a man who was educated and a lot of times when i would stop at the door before we and i would go after brings up naming an act a little tougher than the room and that's why one hand the thing about i was afraid my son shooter who's seventeen and he was ten at the time i was so for even the lowest wage in their
brand how far away in school and he and bartoli massad looks on to some other long time ago that was wrong and i said an animal recovered strain of their kidneys from my from my own mind the moon in my ged have to quit school and and he looked at nasa nominal on pro opposition in thirty years since i've even thought about school says you going to help me and he was studying fractions of that through the fraction of their financial rules and any money that it understands elder roma go to a treatment center we he helped me through that he did and it was a great bonding thing with me and him because i've never lied to him and i'm always try
to teach him to be truthful at all going back to disclose his lucky to have euphoria for two weeks on this program and i really appreciate the opportunity that will come back to your another disclosure you make the film at next week but let me take you back to your roots we hear the term virtual you're bored or poor now you say that your father was the hardest work and many of the new new life and still recall the first son of a song and crying he wept because it was not that he did that he was working for a marinade and he was working before so up the you know rapper has over twenty or cattle man and when he came in the evening here so our work or do you just but you know the thing about it ever but we knew was just like that shut the people who work for
him and i i saw my dad he is headed to have said his family was crying my mother status of the border will find something to eat and that first summer song or two i thought that was not a phrase i never thought probably was an icebox that it could've been cause of electric lights illuminated could've in the refrigerator but i don't know that had to be in the nineteen forties the world where is me and my little brother tommy that she took them about a mile away and the manager joe padden and i don't think i have seen a new push dishes like that but you don't want that dissolve back on the ever about we knew not present they were worse off than we were if you can imagine that and we lived in what was roberto you i remember
mama sweetener there for human and so well i had and i go back to that because the number of stories in the book that really in the early phases of books that really deal with the how tough things were difficult that it was the family of the ecology grandparents and and one song rollover for him and would go after it and the whole ship where you know i got an awful lot of trouble because i said something in the book you know and as sheldon about his drinking my moment and my parents got married because they thought nobody's little fruit the longer a ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha i mean he was the government it broke and if they give him any troubled youth voters and around there's hope that with the police all the time the best meaning like
robot army to close which that power until he had a way about him that you know swear and the way he taught when he test it didn't it just didn't bother you that day because admission like additionally rabbi in demo love each other so much ruffo strong individually but he never broke when that you know which panelist money a luge he had money for food in the house and about in a prudent about and fun and you know a grant program to read you said that if he said that in the book you know we were going to run at them and launch it and now i just have to tell our our viewers that this book you work with on it were quickly gail's book and lenny kaye put it in your own words and as you say on you have known for a long time how to cuss and their few cars and
i'm an hour on educational television many many administrations song and the refrain from being verbatim every word is a but but there is that you talk about and where the term high cotton came from and i've said many times the like on a high cotton but i never knew they're usually what i thought lot yet it easier to pull that of the cellular movement the orange room there jesse she favors only have gotten there but they like you know a trip this guy is a lot easier will likely sure the law and you say in the book when he was sixteen years old he said i didn't why does what you said it does not exactly are you but you don't know how bad it is you
know i mean like you can work and a coleman you can work anywhere and it's all part of your hard work but to me that maybe harder because jewish settlers for you and you can take off on and no one could stop most of which hit and there's so many things that i remember from being taught that i learned of song color well i'm not known by any way in the song one day by putting a piece of paper and look and then at the end of the row and then trying to memorize a row of the last letter to tommy leung show and then that they know that bad as a freight train and the characters are like death war but in the district you know you knew that it was going somewhere you annoyed with i left about half a set of cotton which was a twelve foot
sack in the subjects were not said that and that's at ways to really well let me let me just to take you for a lot of it from that to get to do your roadwork in music with your father at our most people have family and guitars and he said not only not much radio and what people it's entertainment was go to one another's house and saying an end and you love the idea to follow plato martin and could and could take years and and and so you picking up naturally and when you're young and they wouldn't show me a corn moment in limbo we're shopping do we get a cat he had a hollow into dachau green
popcorn with that was the first to learn another place to court you know i learned that he had it was a blue state illegal to god the only thing i ever saw the play directly was so carter june carter local uno a peace brotherhood yesterday was then but he did it to manage this a young man and looks a little like here's what they would have liked this deal and the thing and i think there was it was a blue saying that somehow put in the money of the pollution country if you will and he's saying you know rubbish show him among you grew up the department pushed her memory of there was in the jumper schorr that even made end of the lamp light coming from the
kitchen and i guess i was in the medical research that led us on his guitar and a cowboy on its own horse rare naacp and our shtreimel investigating an acronym in to usually with that was the most i was just mesmerized with a guitar can still feel it well it was one thing you could do when you know that the menu we put that second got no the one thing you could do was so you'd pick well as a cautionary tale not ever gotten involved or care about education who think there was one thing i was going to i can't remember when i was in you know that the women were awarded the ocean you know you talk about going through of going through in life your own career and then as it and unfolds in the book it seems to me that there is one thing that that comes across from very early on you know what you want to do you what you did you knew what you career was going to be
you know how it's going to turn out than having when a way to be successful and knows of no way to suspect that you reach the very top of the charts and then ben and anthea not long island in the center and the star was learned in international celebrity but but that all came and does seem to me that you had not only in your mind that you wanted to perform with you knew how you want it for you don't do it your way and then that is so what characterizes many the conflict to shed literally as your career progressed that single minded purpose and how long do now don't need anybody else telling me what my count is around on homework or that come from and i think that's rare is it not yes it is that my recovery room for shipment to know are
he calmly like everything he did was a mystery until the more as detective which of all the picture today i can remember only get better you know i never liked to a burrito were to do a church didn't like to me to what to do and i have and i don't like for people to do things wrong as far as the drive i had for their neighbors or something we mourn and still their main color now all they call it all kinds of things and all it was was like trying to i'm trying to write about people and i was taught that my dad was very very strong but he was a very gentle person and then there's one place in the book talk about worry but this march are going nuts like that move things right there that struck with me into this period mr meisinger it sure that'll singer that when it was because of what happened was those boxes little
brother had been night is huge box by it by you know but on any boxer came over with the industry cerberus gave you knew what you should remember oh gosh chopping the party is working in the barn like you did everything and he won the big man you know he was about five foot two and so we're and you know you know you never think that you're barely be a big tough guy i never told him that way and by referring to strawberry which covers over him on a roll and he was tommy huge pouring into the top of his job to notice it when you do it more and militia thaksin given what really hurt your brother innocent youth turn him loose that have a whole new industry and in the case of nowhere no norwegian troll set up
by pro american nation break your back which which goes another that's you know a million saved a lot you know is illegal break ins you want it had to look this guy was six foot forward you have to say it totally such a lesson if you think if we write what they will cross there's no wars when you're crazy <unk> year they let the hole that they're in a lot of my research on emotion and he says you cannot wear interlocking actually saddam go there if you don't break your back to soviet union and that was out that many guys pitching your band in the livestrong very went oh no you don't tell us there are more money than the
flesh the owners of the stimulus and where you are into an area that cutting recording and then when you take it to some executives business executives and music and they listened to it and they're not impressed by they suggest well maybe they won't get the great music producer billy sherrill and women in cologne music career and has often up there'd be some strains and you say ah like strings and billy sherrill great weight bouts but you'll get me at all as an ant and that that's all things happen again again the anecdotes in the book really thought that was really weird but what we lose that that was what he thought oh yeah that was what his album and knew you were there and we were explaining ways album that's exactly on the russian as we go with it and you write in your mouth and though you've both martin well is america and so all the meat is a huge climate
goals when he said that he had an enormous it knows your great lesson to take that table told in the ocean where you only my manager will is either asset that stupid you know i call him a bad name and though no one is going to have not a clue about this music innocent sort of us and no one in your office and i'm getting out that situation all set up and he said one of my missing an ayatollah most of all of it commission whole thing you're missing what seventy thousand people came to rise but the williston safety and using them in a sunni and in chile for isis and i said i don't think you're wrong we did wrong but and one about six months later i was coming downstairs and officer heard
rumors that someone here say innocent who is it is it just a stupid and i and no solo but romeo go well and it was at that record straight for only a week when it's less about you know my problem is given the mouse chat sometimes not even any of my business will it help it you know i think when i think something like fundamental moments ride and i couldn't get on his head to conceal his dialect that it would end with eleven well you're very canny throughout the book one think you very honest about a year americans and you saw it would just go back to you think it but you remember your grandmother without losing becomes a commander of shoots a net negative for half ha ha ha ha as anachronistic won't you come back to do it but it but it was very in that the
marriages were very difficult it is we were two young man first live you know you were on a road show contrition and its own new album is co wrote for the times and it's actually about my three ex wives that everybody thinks it's about one one which tells you that your eye was making the same mistake every time you win them it was art but it gets hard to remember the real why we yeah you know sunday early in vaccines and that we never got along with big things to really arab at each other i don't think we get into just heard why they were there for all those things that just to make each of the land and we did that very well and having the kids or savior was a pause and then i will remove that we get that stuff goes on we're
just one after the other hand and and they're wonderful when you look at them and they particularly oh look i'm a kid i'm a victim and think you know what we put them through the leaders were pushed pulled one way and then when you're in a new second marriage really broke up cause she read as you said she didn't really she couldn't look without with the same affection on on your true as she and she did on the show our own john are you i had to give me and then she just couldn't do that we're we want to unload an interesting experiment but it got to afford to where she couldn't the only thing that could she would say to me discipline schwarzenegger shouldn't she didn't mean to be but i have no latino men and women who can deal with it now
addition to patients and that's not in their life and then the third a third eye barbara was loosely and dominate in a row and she saw that the idea that she could movie elections that were away from music and where she likely to go in and work for a while but i made and we're going to go in one and over the marriage worked for was she by reader our wish to french who was she had no clue the music business she's so she spoke things going on that machine you want and write even though she and the one thing about the news of jesus but the thing is everything the bitter end up itching like she felt it before her away from her home and her dead even came in and more money on monday you know he should come invest in job and they're shooting moose club before
