I was cranking, you know, you lived rock and roll back then, those of us that wrote all the time.

I was paid $100 a month, and you had to crank out three or four albums a year, every year.

They felt I was running dry.

They didn't know what the future was.

I was disenchanted.

They don't believe in me.

And I gave him $300,000.

And I bought the publishing, the masters.

It's millions of dollars.

So I own all my masters.

And I own all my publishing.
