BILLY PRESTON

April 1, 1975

"What the hell can he tell you about me?" Billy Preston's (he's the darker figure pictured here) car told CREEM one morning over a barely palatable breakfast of STP Oil Treatment and high octane. "He don't know shit! Hell, he's washed up, as far as I'm concerned.

But me, I just did me a big TeeVee commercial with Leon Russetl'scar. where we was showing off our Craig Stereo tape decks. Yeah, no jive, and the commercial was shown on thatf/n Concerf thing. The way I figure it I been around long enuff — since 1958 -and I been,with Billy for five years and I just kind of wanna step out front a little.

So, I got me a new Chrysler engine and it kinda makes these po' ol' Bently bones feel like they's got a whole~new fife . Listen, my man, I gof a phone call cornin' in SURE! I got a phone; jiveass honky.-what kinda car you think l am? And I got my own space race to do, dig? Catch yo . act later. Give me treads, bro. Yeah!"
