I Love Marijuana - Mary

I'm Not Part Of The Hollywood Scene. I Don't Run Around With 30 Women. I Have A Very Calm Household. I'm Surrounded By My Grandkids And Wonderful Friends, And I Consider Myself Very Lucky.

Prison Was A Blessing. Going To Prison Was The Greatest Thing That Happened To Me. It Showed Me That I Wasn't Infallible. It Showed Me That I Was Just Human. It Showed Me That I Can Be Back With My Ghetto Brothers I Grew Up With And Have A Good Time. It Taught Me To Cool Out. It Taught Me Patience. It Taught Me That I Didn't Ever Want To Lose My Freedom. It Taught Me That Drugs Bring On The Devil. It Taught Me To Grow Up.

I'm Trying To Change The Root Of Funk, Trying To Make It More Progressive, More Melodic And More Lyrically Structured.

After I Saw Kiss On Stage, I Wanted My Show To Look Like The Fourth Of July. The Persona Of Rick James Was Wild And Crazy, Sex, Drugs And Rock And Roll.

I Was Angry About The Fact That My Father Would Beat My Mother On A Daily Basis, That My Mother Would Like Take It In Turn And Beat On Me. I Was An Abused Child. I Was Mad About All Those Things, Very Bitter And Very Angry.
