can do it if they keep on trying. In this case, Jeff is talking to Doris, which is the band’s bus, which is trying hard to climb up a hill. I want to interview you separately and I thought we’d start with just you and me. "To interview" a person is to ask them a series of questions, often for a news article or book. You have a message from Elaine, your mother. She’s a handful. If a person is a "handful," they are very difficult to talk to or control. She freaked me out. "To freak out" a person is an excellent phrasal verb meaning to scare or disturb them. He looks harmless, but he does represent the magazine that trashed "Layla," broke up Cream, and ripped every album that Led Zeppelin made. In rock criticism, to "trash" a song is to very sharply criticize it, or call it bad or lousy. "To rip" an album is another slangy way of saying to call it bad or lousy, or more colloquially, shitty ("Layla" is a great song). Don’t forget the rules. This little shit is the enemy! "A little shit" is an interesting but crude and insulting way of referring to anybody who is mean, abusive or perhaps can’t be trusted. Take a valium. A drug that is supposed to relax people, which was very popular in the 1970s. Although it would be cool to be on the cover. Note that even though Jeff sees Rolling Stone magazine as the enemy, he would still love to be on its cover in order to become more famous. I’m in too truthful a mood. This is Russell’s way of saying that he doesn’t want to be interviewed by William because he may say something that he later regrets saying. You’re so rude. An excellent alternative word to mean or very impolite. I’m gonna say this and I’m gonna stand by it. You should be really proud of him. "To stand by" something you have said is to continue to insist that you truly believe it, even if you get strongly criticized for doing so. He respects women...and let’s just pause and appreciate a man like that. "To pause" is to stop for a short time before continuing (In this case, to think about how sweet William is). You created him out of thin air, you know. You raised him right. "To create something out of thin air" is a poetic way of saying to make something that did not exist in any way before. This is Sapphire’s way of saying that Elaine has obviously been a good mother. Don’t worry, he’s still a virgin and we’re all looking out for him. This is the maid speaking, by the way. A "virgin" is a person who has not ever had sexual intercourse. "To look out for" a person is to protect or watch over them. Can you please hold it down?! One way of asking a person to be quiet. I trust you, so I’m just going to lay it right on you. Just make us look cool. "To lay it right on" a person is to tell them something dir
