So I didn't have positive expectations for my future or really dream about what I could do with my life. I was just trying to survive until I could get out on my own.

• But whats it all worth, cant take it when you under this earth
  Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked

  Somell fall, but I rise, thug or die
  Makin choices, that determine my future under the sky
  To rob steal or kill, Im wondering why
  Its a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
  Much to success to ya, even if you wish me the opposite
  Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is.

• The only good grades I ever got in school before I was kicked out were for creative writing. I thought that fiction might be in my future but then my career took a different path once the Beatles showed me what a blast being in a band could be. Writing my memoir Late, Late at Night reminded me how much I love the craft. So I decided to give fiction a shot again.Magnificent Vibration is the result. I’m still not quite sure where it came from, but once I got going, it practically wrote itself. I’ve heard writers I admire speak of that phenomenon, so maybe I’m on the right track.
