And he said, what?

What did you say?

Oh, you like that?

So I immediately went home and wrote Christine 16.

When I told him, I made the mistake when we first put the band together, we were co-writing rock and roll, that kind of stuff.

And I said to him, I'm going to go home and I'm going to write a song.

I've got a great idea.

You've got...

brown sugar, you know, about this prostitute and everything, and about this black prostitute.

I'm going to write my own brown sugar called Black Diamond.

How cool does that sound?

He goes, yeah, that's cool.

Out on the streets for a living and Black Diamond.

He goes, that's cool.

He went home and wrote the song before I had a chance to write my own Black Diamond.

I said, what the... And so when he showed the chords, I go, that's really good, but you need this riff on top.
