en What I'm experiencing right now is relief. When I read Rob [Bowman]'s liner notes, I felt, 'He's saying all of this about me .' I was walking around frightened that I was gonna die and no one had ever heard of me. To give your life to one thing and then have no one even know that I did it, that was a pall that hung over me.
