Clifton Tip Fredell: Tip Fredell

Quotes 

• Tip : Like, I don't know, like baseball, fishing, and shooting dope, I think I'd put broads in there too. You know, they're a heavy. But, they're losers.

• Tip : I was usin' dope. Light weight. But, I was still usin' then. Coach kept wonderin' when I was goin' to get serious and what my bag was. He didn't know. The whole team was loaded, though.

  Tip : We were city champs. It was a heavy trip. Like, all our school ever produced was baseball players and dope fiends.

• Tip : I'm just an everyday dope fiend, man. Registered. Card carrying. First class. Like where I live, dope isn't nothin'. Just an everyday common thing. Shootin' dope is weird. You know, like, it ain't nothin'. After you get off in it, man, it's just, you know, rips your brain off and sits down in the bottom of your stomach and that's you. Dope, man, all the time, everyday, all day.

• Tip : If you really think somethings happenin', you ought to try playin' baseball when you're loaded on stuff. It's a heavy trip. It never did fuck with my batting too much; but, I sure was slow behind the plate. I used to catch - I was wonderin' who was catchin' who? The ball or me?

• Tip : A lot of people think dope fiends, man, got horns on their heads, snuggled teeth, runnin' around rapin' 80 year old broads. But, that ain't the way it is.

• Tip : Get young. You can't go back; but, you sure would like to try.
