”First thing I remember when I was a little child....was somebody telling me...´Now, in this world, there are things you can look at....but that you cannot touch´....I was a little baby in my little diapers crawling across the livingroom floor heading for that TV set and my mama looked down at me and she said....´Oh, sweetie....hey, Son, don’t you touch that thing .... hey, Son, don’t you touch that thing....well you can look but you can’t touch that thing´...then I was about 12 years old, went downtown into the department store.....my mama took me to the toy department....I started heading for one of the toys....salesman came over to me and said ´Boy!..hey you, boy ! hey !....hey, son , don’t you touch that thing.....oh, son, don’t you touch that thing ....yeah, you can look but you can’t touch that thing´....then I was 17 years old, I was out with my girlfriend....took her to the movies....we sat in the backrow....the movie was....John Wayne in ´The Searchers´....we sat there in the dark.... I started whispering sweet things in her ear....felt her hand on my leg....I put my hand on her leg ....I felt her hand on my thighs, I put my hand on her thighs....then I put my arm around her shoulder and I started creeping down and creeping up and she just said ´Oh, son, don’t you touch that thing....hey, son , don’t you touch that thing....yeah you can look but don´t you touch that thing´....”
