I have no idea what the audience makes of me.
:)
I never thought I was wasted, but I probably was.
:)
I only get ill when I give up drugs.
:)
I've never had a problem with drugs. I've had problems with the police.
:)
It's good to be anywhere.
:)
It's great to be here. It's great to be anywhere.
:)
Let me be clear about this. I don't have a drug problem. I have a police problem.

PROBABLY! I wonder what his definition of wasted is.

I think it was Dean Martin who said, "You know you're drunk when you're lying on the floor and you have to hold on."

And Tom Waits, "I don't have a drinking problem till I can't get a drink." (That was in a song and a long time ago.)

Keith can t spell that, and has never been stone cold sober.
Stoned, yes, but stone cold sober, no. At least not after toddlerhood.

Good for him. I can recall being struck by the orgy of conspicuous grief coming from people to whom Diana Spencer was a complete stranger.

She wasn't just a complete stranger. She was a woman, a sister, a daughter, a wife, an ex-wife, a friend and a mother who lived so much of her life in front of the cameras. If you had a television, you knew who she was. If you lived in a Commonwealth country, you knew who she was. If you had ever read a newspaper, you knew who she was. If you had heard people talking, you knew who she was. She was the most famous woman in the world. That's why people all over the world felt a personal connection to her during her life and grieved when she died.
