I was pushing them away.

Around 1980, they could see that I was not doing well.

And my father referred me to a psychologist that he knew.

So I went to see the psychologist.

But the psychologist just thought I needed like a kick in the pants to straighten up.

No.

And then also, when I was living in Colorado...

In 1980, I saw a psychiatrist that my parents found for me.

And I did tell a psychiatrist about Jody.

He didn't seem to be too concerned about him.

Well, in 1980, Jimmy Carter was still the president, and he was campaigning for reelection.

So I started stalking Carter.

I was in Dayton, Ohio when he was there, and I was in Nashville, Tennessee when he was there.

So I was kind of following Carter around.

But then when Carter lost the election, I dropped my focus on Carter and started focusing on Reagan.

I think today it wouldn't be what happened, but in 1980, I had to go before a magistrate in Nashville, and I got fined $62.50.

They took my three guns, and I got out of town as fast as I could.

I don't remember that one as well, but I think in February of 81, I went to his office at the Capitol in D.C.

Yeah, only because he was a Kennedy.

I had nothing for or against Ted Kennedy, just because he was a Kennedy.
