A BILL BOARD IS THE ONLY THING PREVENTING US FROM BLINDLY CRASHING. And we'll never see a city not marred by advertisements, and we'll NEVER have a future not working for those companies, and it's sure as shit not getting better so we might as well accept it now, oh.
And that really doesn't cheapen anything because, baby, we're all born to be businessmen. Every Fugazi record has a catalog number and a price tag and every independent label is selling you another goddamn product. But, NO, WE'RE not slaves to the music. Oh no, WE'RE not slaves to the company, baby. We do what we're born and raised to do and when you create something, you're producing something and that act of producing is the creation of a product.

And when I finally got to work today, I ate my Subway sandwich, and I drank my Coca-Cola Classic, and then I ate my Sunchips and I thought about the weekend when I'd fill up my Ford van with Mobil brand gas and drive to the Clear Channel venue and I'd drink myself a Budweiser and play my Fender guitar through my Fender amplifier and tell the kids with a straight face through a Shure microphone and JBL speakers that corporate rock is for suckers.
Movies
Silent Night Deadly Night 2
T.V.
House is the Best show on tv but HEROES is right up there with it, Good Eats, Iron Chef America, Hell's Kitchen, Tourgasm, Lucky Louie, Comedy Central Presents - Dane Cook, Mitch Hedberg, Todd Barry. SNL repeats, South Park, Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Seinfeld, and for some reason I find myself watching just about every lame ass MTV show in the book. Law and Order SVU, Jeopardy, scrubs (FINE ADAM, YOU WIN)
