Townes Van Zandt Wild Crazy Things
[Townes Van Zandt]
Just all my friends got so worried about me. Figured I was just on the edge of dying, you know
[Interviewer]
What were you doing?
[Townes Van Zandt]
Oh, just wild, crazy things. Bein' drunk all the time, drinkin' Bally High wine, 20% wine, all the time. Lockin' myself up for, like, a week on end in my apartment. Takin' the phone off the hook. Listenin' to Lightnin Hopkins a lot. And, uh, early Bob Dylan. That's when I started playin', instead of just strummin' the guitar. I started pickin'. Notes, y'know
