access given
We've given him access we've never given anybody.
run
Let me run with you tonight, I'll take you on a moonlit ride....
barometer dangerous downright talk watch
I think television's become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television.
above anybody felt good great heat member nobody none time
The great thing about the Wilburys was that none of us had to take the heat by ourselves. I was just a member of the band. Nobody felt like he was above anybody else. We had such a good time.
bad downright happens health mental physical tv watching
TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It's downright bad for your health now, and that's not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.
access
Sometimes, giving up your privacy is a little like going to the dentist and we have let him have access that no one's ever had.
muddy people stones took until waters
When I was a kid, we didn't have any blues stations. I never heard Howlin' Wolf or Muddy Waters or any of those people until the Stones had come along, and I took it upon myself to find out who these people were that they were covering.
favorites good huge maybe people
'Free Fallin' is a very good song. Maybe it would be one of my favorites if it hadn't become this huge anthem. But I'm grateful that people like it.
biggest car crowd energy hard lifting thousand twenty
The energy of the crowd is insane. Twenty thousand people. It's the biggest jolt of adrenaline. It's very hard to explain. You know the old story about the woman lifting the car off her kid? It's in that realm. You can actually hurt yourself and not know it.
hide offense patient second shoot
When you shoot well, you can hide a lot of deficiencies. I like the (3-pointer) as well as anyone, but we wanted to be a little more patient on offense in the second half.
enjoy five given matter people playing stuck time together
We enjoy playing with each other, which I think is a pretty important part of this. If we didn't, we'd have given it up a long time ago. The idea when we started was to take five people and keep 'em together no matter what and see what we could get out of it, and we've pretty much stuck to that plan.
ability affect creativity drift eventually hit music musical musicians remain wall
It didn't affect his ability for a long time. Heroin can be like that with musicians; I think that's why you see so many musicians drift that way, because you can remain musical for a long time. But I think, without exception, they all hit the wall eventually and the creativity goes.
against efficient good passing
We were pretty efficient in the first half. Our passing was pretty good against their zone.
class college drink due four hanging money paper people remember spend stay time tuesday wasted work
You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does.
