The fucking guy was a heroin addict.
And he did this tattoo one time, and I went over.
I just went over to the shop.
I said, hey, let's do this little.
And he was all fucked up.
And it was just like, what's wrong with it?
I don't know anything about heroin addicts.
The first time I saw somebody do heroin was...
I was in college and there was a place called Bull Island that tried to imitate Woodstock.
And me and my then wife and my kid, my little girl, and my roommate who lived with us, we're just walking down there and we see this guy shooting up.
So we just thought, well, we'll watch.
Because he was just sitting right there.
I mean, there was like 200,000 people there.
And he shot and he went out.
And I looked at the guy I was with and go, we won't be doing this.
And the one shot would last all day?
Last time I did drugs was 1973.
