“At first, I was upset ’cause I’m trying to see you and, you know…but then it hit me,” Garland said. “For one, I ain’t dead, so you really didn’t know me. Because if you would have known me, you would know that I wasn’t dead. So I knew there that someone had lied to him from that point.”
“Later on, when I found out that somebody did lie to him, that song made perfectly good sense,” Garland added. “I understand it totally. When I hear it now, I laugh. I still love that f**king record though. I love it. I do. I listen to his music daily. Every freakin’ day. And I like it. Then it hits me, he’s my son. It’s a twin thing.”
