"T' two brightest moments were when I saw t' guy shot in t' neck with t' zip gun. When I was about nine, ya bilge rat, almost ten, And then after that me mother, ya bilge rat, sister and I were beaten up by a gang o' black girls, a youth gang, in Brooklyn. Begad! T' next sprin' we left town." -- Harry 'Hurricane Kim' Nilsson
