´´There I was, I was eight years old....in (?) Alabama...I´d been hitchhiking around the country for five years....I, I was something else....and just by coincidence I got arrested for loitering....and they put me in the same cell, by sheer coincidence....as was James Brown...it was, uh, it was amazing, it was, here I was, eight years old, with James Brown (?) to me and he looked me in the face and he said ´Ungh, aah....ain´t it fun ?´ ....and the next time he opened his mouth to say something, it was the funniest thing (?) ....out came....(some James Brown-style music)...then he walked away....just by sheer coincidence....in that very next cell, sitting there with his surfboard was Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys...I said ´Dennis, what are you doing in, uh...in that cell with a surf-board ?´...said he was looking for the perfect wave....alright, he came up to me, looked me in the face....and said....(band does ´Fun, fun, fun´)....then he split....by sheer coincidence......with a cop, with a policeman on both sides....(?) they brought in Wilson Pickett....for being, uh, too funky or something, I forget, I forget the exact charge but, uh...he came up to me, he said ´Son (?)....´Mr.Pickett´, said ´If you´re ever in trouble, all you got to do is´ and then he showed me this.....”
