John: I wrote a song that I never recorded because I thought it was wrong but it was called from the f*cking cotton fields to the playing fields. My point is that yes so what. Us as white people love to have black people entertain us.
Bill: I would say that the playing fields are a lot better than the cotton fields. That’s what I would say about that. Maybe I’m crazy John but it seems like making no money as a slave picking cotton, it was not as good as playing left field for the Yankees. I’m sure there were reasons why Dave Winfield has some beef against Steinbrenner.
John: No doubt there is 1% or 2% of black people in America who have a better life.
Bill: Oh, stop. That’s what you think. 1% or 2%.
John: Okay let’s say 10%. I’m just pulling the number out of my ass.
Bill: It is, that’s where it belongs.
John: I just pulled the number out of my ass.
Bill: I know but I’m telling you that’s just not true.
