"It's 5:30 on... the 15th... the day after my operation. Um... I'm, eating saltines, drinking juice. I actually peed... for the first time... on my own. It was... a glorious moment. It was truly glorious. Now I'm going to try to... set up some music to listen to. Goodbye."

Also, most importantly, he gave his full approval to the bands plan to get Ric out here and start album work in December! (...whether it all starts Dec. 1 is unknown, but give or take a few...)..So cross your fingers, folks, it seems hard to beleive after all the confusion and delays, but it looks like we have a record in the works here! ...One song he loved in particular was "The Christmas Song".
