Betty Davis is so alpha, I think if I were ever to be in the same room as her, I would lie down and show my soft white belly. Do you know she was born in Durham, NC?

MAYBE my favorite non-Otis Stax single. Today, anyway.

Holly, Yeah, I would probably do exactly the same thing if Betty Davis walked in the room.

One time I walked up to Steve Cropper and told him how much I loved the guitar on "Big Bird". He paused for a moment and said, "That was Booker T.". End of discussion.
