Thank you. All trees in the forest one day were looking for a king. All the tress of the forest they’re looking for a king. So they went to the oak tree, they said “Will you be the king? The king over us?” The oak tree said, “No”. [someone in the audience: I DON'T KNOW!!!] Say you don't wanna ruin my script for me here?, said “I don’t wanna leave my (…..) flower here.” So they said, “All right.”. So they went to the…I guess they went to the fig tree. Fig tree said, “No, I don’t want to leave all this sweetness behind.” And I guess they went to a bunch of other different tress. They all said , “No.” They went to the bramble bush and said, “Will you be king over us?” The bramble bush said, “Sure.” [audience: YEAH!] Bramble bush ain’t good for nothing but burning!” (after Precious Angel)

Thank you. I want you to ask yourself before (…..).

Thank you. I want you to ask yourself before I go ... Shall I move along? [audience: GET OUT, BOBBY, GET OUT!]  Drop this one in? I was just gonna tell you what's happening between me and my mind.  (before Solid Rock)
