Duff about how he met Izzy:

"In front of the hotel was a pay phone. one evening, walking out with my belly filled with its meal of the day

[a crappy thing Duff called 'Hollywood noodle Bowl' that Duff described as:

- Bring a pot of waterto a hard boil.

- Add ramen noddlesand a packageof frozen mixed vegetables and cook for three minutes.

- Crack a raw egg into the Boiling soup and let cook for an additional thirty seconds.

- Turn off hot plate and stir in powdered flavour packet from the ramen noodles.]

, i saw a guy doing business on the phone - a guy dressed like Johnny Thunders. taking a second glance, i recognized the guy. it was Izzy Stradlin. we had met a few weeks prior, when we both turned up at the same girl's place on the same night. it could have been awkward, but we both shrugged it off and started talking about music[...] i ended up giving him a ride to some other girl's house later that night, we exchaged numbers and that was it. now here he was on my block. it turned out Izzy had just moved in across the street. i knew the alley behind Izzy's place was really bad - full of hookers and drug dealers. shit went down there all the time. what i didn't realize was that Izzy's place was in the back of the building and that he sold hero*n out his back window."
