Bad News was not maybe one of my closest friends, but I always had respect for him, and he was a pretty intense guy. He was not a stupid man. He was a pretty well-educated, disciplined guy.

He was telling the truth between what was on his mind. He didn\u2019t mince words. He wasn\u2019t afraid to speak his mind.
