Singer Goes Home

I never envied Elvis his mansion and all that. Al those boys -- Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison -- they all lost their wives, their families. People say, ?What happened to you, Carl? All of them went on to superstardom. Where?d you go?? I say, ?I went home.? And that?s a good place to be. -- Carl Perkins, Rockabilly singer (quote in Insight, Dec. 9, 1996, p. 33)

A minister was washing his new car when a little boy saw him and asked, ?Where did you get the car?? The preacher replied, ?My brother gave it to me.? "I wish?" the boy started. Surely he would say, "I wish someone would give me a car like that. Instead, he said, ?I wish I were a brother like that.?
