| WAYLOR: "Hell, you all know I'm Waylon and I'm an addict. And the fact is that I want to be clean today more than I want to be high. It's good to be here. Hell, it's good to be anywhere clean. It's good to be here. Even Baltimore. I've bee clean a few 24 hours now, and I'm still dead certain that my disease wants me dead. Yeah, I'm in here with you all, talking shit about how strong I am, how strong I feel but my disease is out there in that parking lot, doing push-ups on steroids...waiting for the chance to kick my ass up and down the street again. Scars on my hands, on my feet...two bouts of endocarditis...Hep C and whatnot knocking down walls and kicking out windows in my liver...." |
