There was one problem with the Hacienda: it never made any money. There were huge crowds and a great atmosphere, but it was all fueled by Ecstasy, not alcohol, and we didn't sell E at the bar. Although we did talk about it. So we were spending money on the building, the staff, the DJs, the sound system, but most of the money went to the drug dealers, and guess what? They didn't give the money to us. They spent it on clothes, or cars, or restaurants, or houses, or girls, or guns. Especially guns
