sounds like it.
now listen. get it together. we're both professionals, i don't have to tell you this. you're not out there to join the party -- we already have one hunter thompson. you're out there to interview and report. you got me? this isn't creem magazine, it's rolling stone. we need this story in four days. now i want to know how it's shaping up.

a mojo. it's a very modern machine that transmits pages over the telephone. it only takes eighteen minutes a page.
you're william miller?
oh baby.
you obviously saw more than you wrote about. after eight days on the road with these guys.
what happened to your highly-touted think piece on limitations of a middle- level band in the face of success?
"i am flying high over tupelo, mississippi, with america's hottest band, and we are all about to die."
yeah, and it gets better. did this all really happen?
crazy.
well, we appreciate the visit. the last time an artist came here, it was buddy miles and he punched me.
