“When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic
books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in
the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I
learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end;
without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never
bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.”
