About edit

  • I wanted an autograph from Northern Calloway, when we were in Stony Lodge together, I asked and was dragged away. He was the only celebrity I met as a kid. I still remember, the sheet over his face, his body on a stretcher. And the only food for thought that would feed my head was like my childhood, David from Sesame Street was dead.
    • Cage, who was also a patient of the Stony Lodge facility where Calloway stayed briefly, in the song "Tongue in a Shark's Mouth" (2009).
