i mean, for example, is ed rollins available to the christie campaign? >> ed rollins is done. he did his stint for the last three months. so he's old and retired. there are talent. preside the key thing is, he has a couple people around him who have done his campaigns that are pretty top notch. you have to be people in iowa, south carolina, new hampshire, building a big organization, raising money, doing all the kinds of things. you can't do it in 30 days. perry has been in the race now for five or six weeks. he's still struggling. he had people who are all prepared to do gingrich's race. they've been doing this for six months or a year. it takes time to put all the apparatus together and at the end of the day to raise the money, to compete, you know, five months from now voters start voting. and to be ready to go. plus having a full-time job which will worry me, with a democrat legislature. the other thing that's not been talked about is new jersey has its assembly races and senate races in this november. so he's out on the campaign trail basically campaigning for himself, ra

but i know this fellow jack rollins who said he used to handle lenny bruce and i said i know him. you think of him? he said he sinned against his talent. tavis: he sinned against his talent? >> and that changed my life. i stopped everything. i had no withdrawal. and i realized i was doing wrong. i thought i was singing good, and i wasn't. and it feels so good now not to get hooked on anything except health. tavis: and the music. >> and the music. just having a good normal life and what a blessing that is. what a blessing it is to be alive. tavis: you had known amy winehouse -- only known her for a year, but i wonder whether or not you felt it wasn't your place, was it not appropriate, did it not come up, did you have any conversation at that time about her struggles? >> that's the little regret that i had because we recorded in britain and we had to take off and sing with queen latifa. i got along good with her father and as it is now from this program and the few days that i'll be in britain, they are still celebrating my birthday -- tavis: that's a good thing. >> i will be a --
