Outro

Velvets' "Heroin" in the background when he was quoting Bukowski; also Little Feat at one point, and he referenced something Keith told him about the origin of the phrase "cold turkey".

yeah Glam, a good episode to finish the season with.

More Stones references in Season 3, please Bob!

Great that he played Cold Turkey, that is such a heavy track, with some great Lennon heart felt lyrics.

Wish he would have used the version off Sometime In New York City, live 71 with Keith Moon on drums, Harrison on guitar and Billy Preston... in my opinion the best version of that song.
