«One day I found a book at my sister's house that would become my confidant
and close friend out in the garden shack where I slept apart the rest of
the house. That book was the only one that knew what I was thinking and
feeling. The book was Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me by Richard
Fariña. Fariña told me I was not the first to go for this bohemian life of
hitchhiking, pranksters, pot smokers, rebellion and free love. I had lived
those pages just last summer, he had lived them ten years before. I mean, I
was Gnossos Pappadopoulis! I memoriezed paragraphs of the book as my secret
friends – read them with fervor and laughed out loud!» – Rickie Lee Jones,
