Skeet Giddens Interview 5/17/2017

‎"No, not really. Not anymore. I may pick up Celine or Miller, or Bukowski every now and then. I'll just a read a page or two. There were other things that helped me much much more. That video of Bob for instance. The one of him doing Like A Rolling Stone on that tour with Petty. Just the first minute or so. The way he is there is just, I don't know, man. I just couldn't stop watching it. I watched it over and over and over again. For years. I just couldn't get enough. There was something coming through to me, something important that needed to be passed. You gotta trust that shit. You can't allow it to make you think you're insane. It's like my fascination with beheadings or other men's penises. I know I'm not gay, not in the slightest. But I've always had a strong desire to see them, to look them over. I want to see everything, ya know. And I would give anything to be allowed the chance to play around with a dead body, to really get in there and spend some time with one. But, you know, until I got famous, I could have never dared to say these things to anyone. Of course not, right? So now I can. It doesn't matter. I got through, I got away with it, ya know. Anyway, looking back at my fucked up life, there was really nothing to it. All you have to do is follow the clues. They're there. They're always there. But hardly anyone pays attention. It really is that easy. If only I had known that sooner. Or had trusted in it sooner. But, again, you know, I was an idiot. An absolute idiot. It's really unbelievable." - Skeet Giddens 5/17/2017
