Bowie. I'm always happy to give Bowie credit and I'm grateful to him. When I first met him in New York he was saying how great I was, how much he loved my singing, but I thought his work stunk and I told him so. I don't like hardly anybody but I do have a place in my heart for him. He is still an asshole, but a damned nice one.

Nico

I was making love to Nico a lot. All day pretty much. Nico was really something special. I really dug her a lot. I couldn't fall in love with anybody, but I was really thrilled and excited to be a...

Ig and Sum 41

Alright. I get shit for this all the time. But you can thank my A&R guy for setting up the meeting with Sum 41. But I gotta kick out of frontman Deryck Whibley's youthful zeal. He's a damn nice ...

The Doors

I was not yet a firm fan of the Doors before the gig at the Yost Field House, because their musical approach was so different from the Detroit rock approach. But I went to see them at this gymnasium....

Queering Out

When I was first supposed to go up for the draft, it was the biggest quarterly callup, and hopefully would be the last . It was late 1966. They needed 650,000 guys to sign the dotted line within 3 ...

First fuck

We would always have girls over and shit - for me, I didn't get fucked until I was twenty. Before that I used to cum - just rub it against some jeans or something, or to just touch a nice ass was ver...
