Age is of no importance unless you are a cheese.
You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave.
All dope can do for you is kill you the long hard way. And it can kill the people you love right along with you.
Honesty is the best part of any art form. If you don't have that, you're kidding yourself and your listener.
