How could you think that?" [laughs] And I said, "Well, you know, it is what it is.
Rich WiesnerGUEST
What can I tell you?" He goes, "It's, well, you can't tell me anything when I'm telling you you're not graduating." Long story short, because of that, he reported me to Selective Service, which pushed my name up for the draft for Vietnam.

They wanted to stop people from being effective, so they would hold this Selective Service thing over their head.
Billy X JenningsGUEST
So what happened when, uh, they did the same thing to me, right? They arrested me when I was with Huey after he was coming to court, right? So I went to court for this draft evasion thing.
