We Were Not Always 70, Or Rather Our 70 Is An Accumulation Of All The Other Ways We Were. Our 5-year-old Selves Became Our 10-year-old Selves, And So On And On; And If We Unpack Our Selves, The Full Album Appears. Every Moment Is A Part Of The Following Moment, And We Are All A Continuum.

However, There Probably Is A Slight Connection Between The High-wire, Super Sensitivity, Open To Everything And Too Much, And Slightly Fragile Soul Of The Artist And The Need To Self-medicate, Which Can Lead To Bad Trouble Either In Drugs, Or Alcohol. So It's Not That There's No Connection, It's Just That We Can't Make Too Much Of It Because It Isn't The Addiction That's The Issue, It's The Fragility Of Some People Who Do Artistic Work, Who End Up In Rehab Somewhere Or Other.

I Think It Is A Good Thing To Have Woman Friends At Every Stage Of Life. We Confide In Each Other, We Support Each Other, We Understand Each Other Most Of The Time.
