Duane Allman's philosophy in a nutshell: be kind, stay open, and choose the good time every chance you get. “Everything's the same everywhere. There are nice folks, and assholes, and you have to learn to distinguish between the two in order to get by. And someone who's an asshole to somebody may be a nice folk to somebody else, so you've got to learn to be nice to everybody, and show everybody respect, that's the only way people respect you. You've got to have mutual respect and a little bit of love, if you can round it up. ⁠And don't be afraid to share what's inside of you with other people. That's the only way you're ever going to get free or have any fun all, either. ⁠So just rock on, and have you a good time. If I have a choice between having a good time and a shitty time, I'm going to have me a good time. I've had enough shitty times." 📷️Gruen⁠
