You, you, you never embarrassed yourself.

You never embarrassed the family.

You,

You played by the rules.

And my dad was like a very like kind of prototypical 50s responsible man.

You know, you work hard, you wear your suit, and you get drunk at night.

And my father was an alcoholic all of his life.

But Walter...

It was really fun.

He was playing jazz music, you know, he dressed like a hippie, he wore dashikis and he was like, cool man, far out, yeah, dig this Cannonball Adderley record, you know, and it was really exciting for me as a kid.

And also like the rules went away.

Like all of a sudden I would get up in the morning, go out in the street.

No one asked where I was going.

I went and did whatever I wanted all day long.

So, you know, there's a freedom in that, but also, you know, a lot of troubles in that because you're getting in trouble because there's no, you know, there's no rules.

And, you know, you're kind of left to figure things out on your own.

But it turned ugly with my stepfather.

He was a drug abuser.

He was an addict.

He was an alcoholic.
