"I bought it out on asshole Long Island, the armpit of the world. I was a big fan of Meade 'Lux' Lewis and Albert Ammons -- those great 78s of boogie-woogie piano. Then I heard The Fat Man, and I went, 'Oh, my God!' Put a guitar to it, mix it together with 'Ooby Dooby,' by Roy Orbison, and 'Red Hot,' by Billy Riley -- and you've got me."
