Never stop until your good becomes better, and your better becomes the best.
Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff
Anything played wrong twice in a row is the beginning of an arrangement. If you wind up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest or some guy on TV telling you how to do your shit, then YOU DESERVE IT Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music and Music is THE BEST Playing guitar is like fucking -- you never forget it.............. Unless you're really, really stupid. There is no such thing as a dirty word. Nor is there a word so powerful, that it's going to send the listener to the lake of fire upon hearing it.
I have a message to deliver to the cute people of the world...if you're cute, or maybe you're beautiful... there's MORE OF US UGLY MOTHERFUCKERS OUT THERE THAN YOU!! So watch out. Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over. It would be easier to pay off our national debt overnight than neutralize the long range effects of our national stupidity. The only thing that seems to band all nations together is that their governments are universally bad. Politics is the entertainment branch of industry. Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or date's by which bills must be paid. Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read. Most people wouldn't know good music if it came up and bit them in the ass. Pop is the new politics. There is more truth in pop music than in most political statements rendered by our leaders, even when you get down to the level of really simplified pop records. What I'm saying is that's how bad politics is. ~~~Frank Zappa 1940-1993~~~
Music, sports, computers, women, my son, my dog, my friends, comedy, horror films, dirtbikes, bicycling, exercise and fitness, drinking, chasing cocktail waitresses, performing for an audience... I guess you could call me an attention whore
Take the quiz: "Which Dead Rock Star Are You?"
Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix! You're influential to many young and old, and very talented. You most likely good with your hands... are you? You are very happy and like to experiment with drugs. Oh, he died in 1970 from a supposed drug overdose, it's unknown what drug.*
*quiz says It's unknown what drug. Contrary to popular belief (heroin), it was a mix of sleeping pills and whiskey. Furthermore, he'd have lived if not for the ambulance attendant mistaking his attempt to vomit for a seizure, pushing back his head, and tightening his restraints! "Vomit inhalation" according to the coroner's report.
