Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

I'd Rather Go Blind is another one of my favorites from Etta. She will be missed. What a voice.

A classy lady with a beautiful voice. "At Last" is one of those songs in my life's soundtrack that will always evoke great memories.
