´´I grew up in this house where.....people never talked to each
other....it seemed like you could say anything to each other except....except
what was really on your mind, what you were feeling in your heart when you were
growing up....and....I remember my old man would always be playing the hard
guy....I guess ´cause he felt that that´s what, that´s what
men were supposed to be like, that´s what men were supposed to do....and
the worst part about it was when I was young, I thought that he was right.....and....(people
start clapping hands) no, you can´t clap along to this one.....I lived....it
took, it took me and my father 30 years to be able to....tell each other that
we loved each other....so if you got folks at home, don´t wait that long....”
