When I was a kid, I always looked up to people like B.B. King and Ray Charles.

I would actually like to play Bobby Brown. To me, he was just the King of R&B at one point.

Bobby was one of the few people I had ever known who really wanted to do something for me.

I knew about Elvis. Of course, everybody knew about him then.

Shawn Kemp was the player that I grew up watching, when he was with the SuperSonics.

I knew Billy Wilder socially and would have loved to work with him.

When I got into rap I didn't exactly win any popularity contests. I called myself Dee Dee King, after B.B. King, to the total dismay of my fellow Ramones.

I knew Bobby Dylan back in the days when he lived in the village. He used to come and see me and sing songs for me, saying they ought to go into my next collected book on American folk music.
