24.01.85 Providence, RI, intro to ´Johnny Bye Bye´

´´There´s certain images from your childhood that you never forget....and uh....I remember I was living....we were living in a one side of this little house, had about four rooms....and we had a black and white television, was around 1959....and uh....my mother, she was kind of into rock´n´roll before I was (chuckles)....you know she was, I guess when I was around nine or ten, she was young and she´d have, always have the radio on to the Top 40 station in the kitchen when we´d come down to eat breakfast in the morning and....and uh, so I remember it was a Sunday night when she had on ´Ed Sullivan´ and the first time Elvis Presley came on ....and uh, I remember my sister and her being real excited and I remember being real quiet for some reason, just kind of watching...and uh....I went out a couple weeks later and I got a guitar....rented it, I rented it from the music store....I couldn´t really play it right ´cause my hands were too small at the time....but I never ever forgot....I could always just....lot of times I think back to that night....and around, it was around ´76....we were down in Memphis and uh.....it was late at night and I took a taxi cab out to Elvis´ house....and uh....I seen a light in the second story window and figured Elvis must be up reading or something....so I jumped over the wall and I started to run up the driveway, I guess I thought I was gonna.....I don´t know what I was gonna say to him if I´d met him.....anyway, I was (?) feet up the driveway and I got to the frontdoor...and I was just about to knock....and these guards came out of the woods and asked me what I wanted....I said ´Is Elvis home ?´....and....now I, I kind of think, now I know it was a stupid thing to do because like I always hated it when people do it at my house, you know (chuckles)....but anyway, there I was and they said ´No, Elvis isn´t home´, I said ´Oh, you see, I play the guitar too and, and, like I was on the cover of Time and Newsweek and stuff´....´Yeah ? You´re that guy ? Sure you are´....and they took me down and they put me back out on the street....but uh....that was something where....I can remember how strange it felt when a friend of mine called me up and told me that.....that Elvis had died....´cause he was so young....and it was hard to understand how somebody who seemed to win so big and for so many people....could´ve ended up losing so bad in the end.... but uh....´cause he deserved a lot better....but uh....I guess a dream....a dream, even a good dream that comes true is a dangerous thing....this is called ´Bye Bye Johnny´...."
