I was a good student in high school and college or whatever.

And then I had a lot of free time.

I worked a lot of nights.

I started reading, reading, reading and fell in love with it and fell in love with writing.

I just started scribbling all these stories and I loved it.

And that's why I say, you know, to this day, I don't work for a living.

I play for a living because I love writing stories.

He was a patient there, as was his brother, Liv, and his sister, Kate.

They were all patients.

And obviously, James was having different kinds of problems.

And but and he wasn't famous at that point.

And he did sing in the cafeteria, the small cafeteria.

He would sing Fire and Rain and Sweet Baby James and these songs, which at that point had not been released.

And then a year later, about a year and a half later, he got out and he got picked up by the Beatles label Apple.

And and they released that first album, which became a monster hit.

Yeah, once again, don't think of it as like some crazy house, like one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

It was mainly just a lot of people having problems and...

And I grew up there a lot.

Once again, Newburgh is a little provincial.

And all of a sudden, I'm dealing with people from all over the world, some rich ones, some interesting folks.
