Head Wreck is remembering the night he hit bottom: "Doc, I was certain that my dog Ralph, as he stood above me in that bare and wasted room, amid overturned bottles and crumpled cans, was not just talking to me but channeling God!!! And he said I was down there on the floor so I would know how it felt because it was my job to bring America down to rock bottom, because things can't get better until then. Then he said something I never forgot, not a single, flipping word. He said, 'People are going to say you're crazy, Glenn, but don't listen to them. I wouldn't never steer you wrong. After all, I'm your best friend,' as he was drooled on my shirt."

1. ". . . and sometimes late at night, I'll hear a neighbor's dog barking, and

I'll listen real hard and his barks will begin to have round edges and points like vowels and consonants, and all of a sudden he'll be telling me what to do. . . . So you see, Doctor, there's really no need for further visits. . . . I got all the advice I need."

2. "Every night I dream of seeing everything and knowing everything and becoming enraged.

And picking up chains and whips and wires and flame-throwers and watching people writhing in a blaze of bullets before me. . . . Think it means anything, Doc?"
