In any relationship that comes to an end, there’s never just a baseline reason why. You say, ‘Oh, I broke up with my girlfriend.’ Someone says, ‘Why?’ You say, ‘Well, you got three hours? And then maybe after I tell you my version, you’ve got to talk to her.’
Since they all broke up the greatest conference in football, which was the Southwest Conference, I’ve had little interest in them any more. I thought that was a disaster and a disgrace when they did that, but they did it anyway. So I’ve lost interest them and I don’t care what they do anymore.

My parents divorced when I was 3 years old. They had a lounge act in Las Vegas, where I was born. The band broke up and the marriage dissolved, and my mother, my sister and I moved to Southern California. And I didn’t see my dad a lot growing up; he was on the road a lot. I’d see him every couple years.
Miles Davis had me play and he hired me the following week and after that, everything broke wide open.
Some might argue that it’s unfair to judge Hillary Clinton for the policies her husband championed years ago. But Hillary wasn’t picking out china while she was first lady. She bravely broke the mold and redefined that job in ways no woman ever had before.
