Iha: They tol -- they told me it’s (British accent) Birmingham.

Sweet Leaf (tease - Billy plays the riff several times)

BC: (gesturing towards Iha) (high pitched) Alright now.

Iha: Heh heh, sorry. Heh.

BC: Come on!

Iha: (high pitched) Well, alright now. (normal voice) Sorry, I lost my mind.

BC: Who knew? Heavy metal and a song about weed. Who knew?

Iha: They -- they go so well together.

BC: I never thought to write a love song about weed, it never occurred to me.

Iha: That’s the fucking genius (laughing) right there.

BC: That’s the genius of Birmingham. We’d like now play a song for you [sic]...that this young man to my left and I wrote way back in 1992.

She’s--

BC: Don’t you know any Oasis or anything?

Iha: Ah, this is Birmingham. One of the next cities we’ll play that. Uhhhh...all the way from Australia, on vocals and guitar, Miss Katie Cole. Katie Cole, everybody. You know him, you love him, he’s one of yours, on the bass guitar, Mr. Jack Bates. And uh, I’m from Illinois, it’s a very boring, flat, Midwestern state, it’s a great place.
