Abstract
All of those other times when I was kickin', I'd go down to Kentucky or I'd go to Brothers Island, and the psychiatrist would say that I had complexes and all this. That was a lot of B.S., Sonny. I just used drugs because drugs was good. I liked it, and I wanted to. It made me feel better than anything else. It made me feel as though I was complete, man. I just wanted to use drugs; I didn't want to do anything else. I didn't want to stop doing it.” (Brown, 1966)Keywords
