15. Wonderful story, H2O Man!

I always enjoy hearing about your relationship with Rubin! I have followed his story since I first heard Dylan's song about him; I bought his first book, The Sixteenth Round, and devoured it. So glad he was finally freed, but still mad as hell that so much of his life was stolen from him!
