Chris-isms (from Crowesbase):

Before Horsehead:
Now I realize why no one who lives in the Bay Area travels to Amsterdam to see the Black Crowes. I mean, and trust me man, we keep count. Its like "Yeah, whatever, we don't speak Dutch
anyway, man."
----
Before Girl From The North Country:
By the way I guess the marijuana reference also means you have short-term memory loss. Because it would help us out if you could keep your conversations to a minimum. And its really not
out of any self-important thing, but it is about setting the mood, do you know what I mean. And that mood includes everyone that's here. And if the moods really happening, it includes
all the people who aren't here. Hahaha. Now we're getting into some really heavy stuff. But it helps when your playing music and you don't hear like someone else's transistor radio
going off in your ear while you...whatever. Its about communication and things. Stuff that two guitars and some wires can help the communication. It has very little to do with the
internet or cell phones. So help us out and we'll help you out. That was my San Francisco version of the speech. In Texas I said, "Fuck Off, I'll meet you outside". This guy said,
"Yeah, man, well you're from fuckin' LA, anyway." I said, "No, I summer in Los Angeles. I'm from fuckin' Georgia and I will kick your ass." Let's face it, if you're gonna be a long
haired freeky fuckin' person in America these days, sometimes you're gonna have to get in their face. I don't want it to be that way man, its just the nature of things.
----
After Wyoming & Me:
Can you imagine the amount of hate mail you'd get if you wrote a song like 'You're filthy like New Jersey and me'. I only would say that joke when we're over here. Cause on the East
Coast they'd be like: "I fuckin heard what you said! There's some nice part of New Jersey!" Yeah, they're keeping them hidden from all the other mammals. Just a joke, just a little
joke. If we can't be in the most beautiful part of America and make fun of one of the shittiest parts, I mean. Oh and don't get me wrong, if you're from New Jersey and you're sitting
here and you don't like that, then why the fuck did you leave? You know what I mean. So let's face it, there's reality...that's why its funny, there's some truth to the thing. And if
I'm wrong I will pay for it Karmacally in about three or four lifetimes from now. Or at least that's what I'm told.
---
Before Leave It Alone:
Chris: "Is everybody comfortable? Everybody's cool? I'm just saying that because Rich is going to do one of his songs, and usually its accompanied by a very long and detailed
introduction. So go ahead."
Rich: "It all started way back in Georgia as a youth...(Pause) So I'm gonna do one of my songs. Its called Leave It Alone."
----
After Leave It Alone:
Chris: "Hold on, I'm gonna have a private conversation with my brother. If a song is called Leave It Alone, that's self explanatory."
Rich: "Yeah, exactly."
Chris: "So I was probably out of line to say that you were going to give it a short introduction."
Rich: "Yes."
Chris: "The only creepier dialogue we could have is if we were identical twins. Then we'd just look at each other like this...Or we'd look at each other and we'd do this...But we're not
twins! We'd be evil twins though. But you can't have two kids named Ming the Merciless. Only one! And Ming the Less Merciless."
