Sometimes a loss is the best thing that can happen. It teaches you what you should have done next time.

What people don't understand is joining a gang ain't bad, it's cool, it's fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it's cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family's in the gang. We're not just killing people every night, we're just hanging out, having a good time.

Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.
