Well, this one night we were in Cicero the three of us, sittin' up in a hotel room, boozin' and havin' a few laughs and we ran out of ice, so I went out to get some. I come back, open the door, and there's Veronica and Charlie doing Number Seventeen...the spread eagle. Well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out. I can't remember a thing.

He'd go out every night looking for himself and along the way he found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary and Irving. I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead.
