Everything on this planet has something to do with music. Music functions in the realm of sculptured air.

Bad facts make bad law, and people who write bad laws are in my opinion more dangerous than songwriters who celebrate sexuality. Freedom of speech, freedom of religious thought, and the right to due process for composers, performers and retailers are imperiled if the PMRC and the major labels consummate this nasty bargain.

Ever try to have a conversation with someone on drugs? It just doesn't work.

Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.
