Now, I was on drugs, and that didn't help a whole lot. He hated that. That was part of where Chet and I had problems, so I take complete blame for that.

So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.

Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.

Besides that, I felt guilty. I thought for some reason... I was alive, and Buddy and those boys were dead, and I didn't know how, but somehow I'd caused it.

I might be an endangered species.

Ladies love outlaws, like babies love stray dogs. Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold, outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul.

I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll and country are just about a beat apart.
