"In Race with the Devil, John Peel's BBC Radio doucumentary on Gene Vincent, he quipped that in modern times no artist would tolerate such conditions, crammed into a station wagon, often drafting in replacement band members along the route of a changeable itinery. He must have forgot to remember that I went on that bourbon fueled oddessey too. Somebody got lost on the way, some of the joints were flakey, but we got there and we had a ball."
