“If the call comes from Lou’siana / Please, let it ride / If the call comes from Lou’siana / Please, let it ride / This phone booth is on fire / It’s getting hot inside…” – James Cotton Blues Band: Long Distance Operator (written by Bob Dylan)

“I’m gonna call my baby / Just to hear her telephone ring / Yes, and if she’s home, she’ll think about me, yeah / And if she’s gone, well, it won’t mean a thing.” – Michael Bloomfield/ featuring Nick Gravenites (Blues On A Westside written by Nick Gravenites)

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies- “God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.” – Kurt Vonnegut

“She rolls in her bedding / Like she rolls her biscuit dough / She lay down so easy / ‘Til she got to have some more / Oh, big legged mama / Ooooh, keep your dresses down…” – Jerry Lee Lewis: Big Legged Woman (by James Williams)
