About Me

THE BASTARDS OF FATE HAVE IN MANY WAYS BECOME SO POWERFUL THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER UNDERSTANDABLE, AT LEAST NOT IN HUMAN TERMS. ALL THEY ARE HAVING LEFT IS A SINGLE UNCLENCHED FIST AND A WILD, HALF THOUGHT-OUT GESTICULATION IN THE FACE OF GOD AND THE UNIVERSE, THE FINAL DEATH WHEEZE OF A FEELING SO INTENSE IT COULD ONLY HELP BUT BURST LIKE A PROVERBIAL BALLOON FROM THEIR COLLECTIVE BOSOM. THIS IS THEIR STORY, NEXT ON VH1 CLASSICS.
