You crop up in his book, and it is not a

>> The only reason he wrote all that stuff
0:05
about me in his book. I caught up with
0:07
him one day. I was about 5 years, maybe
0:09
not maybe yeah, 5 years clean sober. And
0:12
I hadn't spoken to him for ages. And I
0:14
said, "Let's go and have a burger." And
0:16
we sat down and he said, "Oh, what do

0:45
bit hard on you at the end. I want to
0:47
make an amends to you." And he said,
0:49
"Oh, so you were a drug addict? What?
0:51
You were using cocaine?" I said, "Mate,
0:52
