The studio version is even better.

Al told me that some young hotshot kid thought he was God's gift to the plunger. He did not know who Al was. For the sake of reality, Al showed him what humility was all about.

We all need that. Dave Liebman told me that he thought he was a hotshot Jazz player. He took a lesson with Lennie Tristano. Lennie put him in his place. Lieb said that helped his carreer more than anything

My high school buddy, George Gesslein, thought he was a hot shot lead bone player out of High School. He took one lesson with Wayne Andre, heard him play, and bought a bass bone the next day

There is nothing like reality
