Johanna
BC: Thank you. Thank you, Dallas, [2 unintelligible words]. (Southern accent) How y’all doin’ tonight? (normal voice) Thank you very much for coming, we appreciate it very much. ‘Course the front rows here have been in the sun all day, they don’t even...they don’t even know what they’re doing. Heh heh heh. They think they’re seeing Zwan. Hahahahahaha. Oh, I make myself laugh. Thank you. Bless you. But it’s good to see your faces, thank you, it’s always great to play in this city. I don’t know if you noticed but I’m not playing in Houston. Heh heh heh. Hahahaha! Heh heh. Oh, I love Houston. ‘Course if there wasn’t any oil there, there wouldn’t be a city there, but I still love ‘em. Heh heh heh. Anyway, thank you very much.

[encore break]
BC: Thank you. Now uh...everywhere I go, everybody’s got questions for me and uh....
Girl in crowd: I love you, Billy!
BC: Can I just tell my joke please?
Girl in crowd: Sorry!
BC: Heh heh heh. Ah, fuck it, I’ll just play. I realize there’s a lot of tall blondes in the audience and I gotta go slow. Heh heh. First time we came to Dallas, I think it was 1991 or ‘92...the collective “we”, me and Jimmy Chamberlin were sitting out in front of the trees over there. And it was like, I was writing a postcard and I turned to Jimmy and I said, “My god, there are so many tall women, it’s insane.” Grow ‘em on trees down here, I think. I’m just stalling for time, I don’t have anything to play or say. Heh heh. “We love you anyway, even when you suck.” Heh heh. No, what I was gonna say is like...you know...
Guy in crowd: That’s what love is!
BC: Heh, heh heh, thank you, heh heh. I’ve wandered the whole fuckin’ earth to find a definition for love and now you’ve told me. Now I’m at peace. Now I’m at peace, I no longer need this rock and roll career, I can go straight to heaven from here, be at peace. (lots of crowd yelling) Hey, alright, we’ll just play music. No, what I was gonna say is I’m in Dallas tonight, I wanted to go - know where the fuck we’re gonna go hang out. That’s what I was gonna say but then you pissed me off and I decided just to go home.
