"so anyway, you're from San Diego
                         and that's good.  Because once you go
                         to L.A., you're gonna have friends
                         like crazy but they'll be fake friends,
                         they're gonna try to corrupt you.  The
                         publicists!  The bands!  You got an
                         honest face, they're gonna tell you
                         everything.  But you CANNOT make friends
          with the rock stars.
That's what's important.  If you're a rock
                         journalist, a true journalist  first you
                         will never get paid much.  But you will
                         get free records from the record company.
And they'll buy you drinks, you'll meet
                         girls... they'll try to fly you places for
                         free.... offer you drugs...  I know.  It
                         sounds great.  But they are not your
                         friends.   These are people who want you
                         to write sanctimonious stories about the
                         genius of the rock stars and they will
ruin rock and roll and strangle everything
we love about it.
