"Intro - Babe"

(spoken / time = 1:57)
When I was seventeen, I met a girl at Mendel Catholic High School dance. She was fifteen and a half. We started going steady, we got engaged, we got married and we've been married thirty three years this year.

Thank you, I'd like to take the bows for that, but, uh, you know people ask me how's that possible? Simple: marry a saint, because that's what I did. And uh, I mean let's face it sir, look at me, I'm a good lookin' guy, don't you think? I mean come on, be fair...ask her? I have some talents, you know, I can dance a little, sing a little, you know what I mean? Sort of charming especially with the good light on me. You'd look good up here, well maybe not you.
muffled laughter and an inaudible question from audience
At home? I'm an asshole
laughter
Just like you sir.
laughter
Only worse.
(whimsically sings)welcome to the grand illusion
Next time you see rock stars or movie stars on TV telling you what you should think, turn it off.
applause
Turn it off. Actors, I love 'em, you know. I did a little myself, but basically they pretend to be other people. Anyway, and rock stars, boy, who's more full of shit than them?
laughter
So anyway, the first song I wrote for her was Lady and I've written a million other songs. She's been the inspiration of my life, she's the best thing that ever happened to me, I love her dearly. This song was written for her in 1979.
