I often said, "I'd give my right eye for . . . ." I'd better be careful what I say.

Eye think he must have seen my favorite christmas movie,"A christmas story" one too many times, and took it literally!!
"Houston, you have a problem": Eye can see that" replies Houston. "On second thought, Eye can't see that, Eye am trying to keep one eye on other things.
(My sense of humor has sure improved, since Eye joined this site, and eye thank all of you for helping to lighten me up, through some hard times-- Jack.)

Los Angeles radio station KKBT-FM's K-Sly, who appeared in the "I Like That" video and is close to Houston's camp, said the singer had been under psychiatric care last year for manic depression. Another source corroborated that claim, adding that Houston had also struggled with PCP.
"I was told he wanted to commit suicide and stabbed his eye out," K-Sly said. "He was telling people he was Jesus and wanted to go home to his Father."

You should be brow-beaten with a wet noodle (it leaves no mascara tissue).

DRUGS .... you have to be amped up on meth-cocaine or something similar to build up enough of a head of steam to gouge out your eye.

Perhaps Houston was musing on the epigamist's :
"In the Land of the Blind, the one-eyed man is King."

just...
Houston? No other name?
I guess I don't follow R&B like I used to. Delbert McClinton would never gouge out his eye. But then again, he was more "roadhouse" than R&B, I suppose.
