Alice asked me to his bus one time to sit me down and talk about how out of control I was during So Far, So What, and I kind of didn't want to hear it. I was like, 'but, but, but, I want to drink and I want to smoke. It's the rock 'n' roll dream. What are you talking about?' I appreciate it now. He just didn't want me to make the same mistakes he did.
