I always wondered why people EVER used *real* language along with music? As if music was
not enough to stir emotions. The only songs I would have ever wanted to write would have
been in a pseudo language that would only *resemble* a blend of Italian and Russian on a
phonetic, not semantic level - just to apply the fantastic range of a sensible and
gifted human voice. But using music to transport a message or a real world meaning, I
think is strange.

Sonnyboy Williamson was probably talking about his Chevrolet.
