William Miller: They hate me Lester Bangs: You'll meet them all again on their long journey to the middle Lester Bangs: You know your writing is damn good. It's just a shame you missed out on rock'n roll. It's over William Miller: Over? Lester Bangs: Over. Do you take d**? William Miller: No Lester Bangs: Smart kid. I used to do speed. You know sometimes a little cough syrup. Stay up all night, writing and writing. And like 25 pages of drivel about the phases of Coltrain.
