The Class Clown album was done totally sober. I'd realized what a hell I'd made for myself and I cleaned up completely for three months. You can hear the clarity of my thinking and of my speech on that album.

If the shoe fits, buy another one just like it.

I was taken to the hospital for observation. I stayed several days, didn't observe anything, and I left.

On the other hand, pot opens windows and doors that you may not be able to get through any other way.

We are a nation of sheep, and someone else owns the grass.

An outsider longing to be on the inside is the same as the soloist longing to work in an ensemble. I get great satisfaction in being a part of the proper - for me - community. I'm uncomfortable with various social groupings and clusterings. But when I'm in the right group, doing the right thing, I get as much satisfaction out of that as anyone who does it all the time.

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
