“I love I Don't Wanna Face It. The version on Milk And Honey is great, but I especially love the outtake on The John Lennon Anthology, because right before the solo John calls out my name – ‘Mr. Slick!’ When I got the disc – because by the time it came out, he was gone – I must have listened to that song 150 times the first few days I had it. Just hearing John say my name brought back such good memories. It was like, ‘Christ almighty, would you listen to that?’
“It also happens that I Don't Wanna Face It and Nobody Told Me are my favorite songs on Milk and Honey. For I Don't Wanna Face It, we did do one overdub. We were done tracking, and I was headed back to LA, where I was living at the time, and as I was ready to leave, John called me and said, ‘I’ve got one more for you.’
“When I got to the studio, John and I overdubbed the guitar solo together. It’s kind of a double-stop thing. We did it live in the studio in something John called an 'old Beatle trick,' where we had two little Princetons or something facing each other, with a stereo mic on the amps, and we just did it facing each other in like two takes.”
