And if you read the book and you buy the book I'm sorry I'm merging the book. Take one of those drugs. There's nearly nothing to do with that, thank you. I wasn't a pianist, but I always found and made a living. There's always ways to do it. If you know that you're your best friend, I will never, never do anything to hurt me. Mm-hmm, our children may hurt us someday and leave us. Our lives may divorce us or we could just be OJ'd, but I will never hurt me, uh-huh. And if you know that I live inside of this 180-pound 6-foot shell and I look out, no one can look in, and I'm always aware of people and everything around me.

I'm walking on the street when I'm in New York I had a cold, so I went to a friend of mine on the car that he drove, eddie Medeo, and so I'm just saying we're 49th and 8th. He's like a 57th in Broadway. So I walk over there and all I want to do is get some good old Jewish chicken soup, and I had a bowl of chicken soup. It was really good. I felt a little better. And I'm walking back and I see a bunch of r rough looking guys on the street there in New York. So I cross the street to avoid it. Somebody told me a long time ago if you act nuts, nobody ever messes with you. Another thing if you ever held up the best thing to do throw up on your money, no one will take it.

We're walking to a car tonight, me and Baron Van Ratsky in Hammond, indiana, and somebody came up from the house between the bushes they lived there or something. I cut a cut off while I was away. Hey, pat, I'm scared to hell out of both of us. I said I got my heart speeding. And Ratsky says can't you look at me? Here's Walters. And he said I'm ready to throw up on my money. So I'm walking down the street and I see all these guys. I'm thinking I'm by myself. I got reach one hair. I'm going to get in trouble. I bet I have to break my nuts. So as I'm walking I can see them coming up behind me. So I start all this kung fu, jackie Chan stuff. Yeah, ha Ha. I turned around. There's nobody there, even with the shadow of the street light. I was scared of my own shadow, but you know that probably would have saved me. Yeah, I'd have acted nuts. Yeah, is that okay, sir, oh yeah, that's great.
