Description: "Why I stuck with a junkie jazzman" was the headline an editor gave a newspaper interview Laurie did while the band was in Australia in 1981, and she's now stolen that "that perfect title" for her memoir. "People think I was some kind of little wifey-saint who rescued him. And Art encouraged them in that. But he knew how truly crazy I could be. We rescued each other."
