“I proposed that they take me off retainer and we work out a schedule whereby for a certain part of the year I would work for them, and in a certain part of the year I would do my own projects. And Dweezil was just incensed by the idea that I would try to dictate policy that way and has refused to speak to me ever since.” – Mike Keneally, 4 June 1997
