So I was like a straggler to something that was like a flying saucer and had left to him.

So he's telling me it's over.

But here you are.

And just watch out because they'll try and corrupt you, too.

And I'm warning you right now because they already ruined rock.

It was like a lot of information.

But his thing about unmerciful was you've got to fight back.

You have to fight back in the homogenization of something that is important to you.

And that's why he used that strong word.

And he was sometimes not unmerciful.

Sometimes he was very kind.

He was kind to me, for example.

But he was a politician for the soul of rock.

And to me, he was legend instantly for that and many other reasons.

Well, I think generally I was able to witness people that would come through a tour or backstage, and you could tell the people that were there to, like, party.

and act like they're a rock star too and that person would leave the room and you'd hear how they were talked about by the bands and you just go wow okay well i get it you know i don't play an instrument so i'm not going to be in a band or try to be in in this band but generally i thought like um

Be the guy that's there to document it.

And when you're done, go home.

Don't stay out or try and hang out in the hotel rooms.

Go back to your room and transcribe the interview.
