About Me

"[. . .] in our search for morality and happiness outside of God, we have effectively lost all three [. . .]"
- Ravi Zacharias

"Attacking two of the usual scapegoats, women and gays, is lazy writing. If you want to do battle, attack the aggressors not the victims."
- Labi Siffre, to Eminem and Dr. Dre regarding the uberhit "My Name Is".

Siffre wrote the original song "I've Got the Blues" which was heavily sampled in the track.


"You're weakened [weekend] by my skills / so you're only seein' sadder days [Saturdays]."
- Scanz
