What do you think about your town since you've left and come back ?

It's fantastic! I was across the river from the club
last night, I never had more fun in my life!
except sometimes in california I have more fun.

Do you plan to come back soon ?

Oh ? er, er, er, I have no immediate plans, ha ha ha!!

Did you entertain in high school,
at the high school, when you went back at the high school ?

Only when I walked down the aisles,
man. no, I did, no, I was,
er, I was a painter, and a sort of a recluse in high school. I've changed.

What happened ?

I got liberated! I don't know,
I just started to sing and singing makes you want to
come out because painting,
I feel, keeps you inside, you know ?
and once you start singing you just sort of wa
O talk to people more and go out more and,
you know, your lifestyle's becomes more a come-out,
flow-out thing instead of a hold-it-and-be-quiet type.

How were you different from your schoolmates when you were a teenager ?

I don't know, why don't you ask them ?

Did they make you different ?

No.

Otherwise were you different in comparison with them, or were you ?

I felt apart from them.

Did you take a part in football games ?

I think not. I didn't go to the high school prom, and er ...

Oh, you were asked, weren't you ?

No, I wasn't. I don't think,
I don't think they wanted to take me.
till I'll be a hundred and sufferin'!
it's enough to make you wanna sing the blues!
This song is from the album "Janis".
