Saw Buddy at Spice in Hollywood about fifteen years ago. Man he was good, until he started to get sick. When he went backstage to get well, they played some old video of Billie Holliday that still rocks my world.

She was dopin' too (in the video), and when Buddy came back, he was good again. Great show.


"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine
