Dwight Yoakam b.October 23, 1956

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain.
And I don't feel no hurt at all,
Unless you count when teardrops fall.
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie,
It only hurts me when I cry.

  "It Only Hurts When I Cry" by R.Miller & D.Yoakam 1991

David Bowie - b. January 8, 1947

His name was always Buddy,& he'd shrug & ask to stay.She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid,& turn her face away.
She's uncertain if she likes him,But she knows she really loves him.It's a crash course for the ravers,It's a drive-in Saturday!

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites.
All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth.

Jerry Lee Lewis b. September 29, 1935

Forty twenty-five, forty ninety-eight
I threw a rock'n'roll party on my last birthday
And it was good, rockin' my life away
I been a movin' and a groovin'
And gettin' it both night and day

Bruce Springsteen b.September 23, 1949

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396,
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor.
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot,
Outside the Seven-Eleven store.
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town.
We only run for the money, got no strings attached,
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down.
    - "Racing in the Street" B.Springsteen 1978
