His greatness as an artist is indisputable, but hey, he's got bills too I imagine.

Yeah, the ka-ching of a cash register.

Oooo, those last two posts should definitely go on the "Now That's What I Call Musical Blasphemy" comp CD.

We're having dinner at my friend's parents' house. Too bad you can't make it!

Ha! Call me psychic!

Calculus. New York State equalization rates. Everything else I think I have a decent enough handle on, thanks!

With "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME! Oh, and don't do drugs either."

I think they should electrify a mannequin and make the kid hug it so as to condition him not to be such a hug-slut.

In contrast to the above, I will say that any punk-rock album that sounds like it was made in a studio with real recording equipment has totally missed the point. (I give "Fear - The Album" a pass on this because I love that record.) Further, Green Day completely sucks warted moosedick, but everybody knows that.

No, I think it's OK and sometimes fun to oppose the prevailing viewpoint. I mean, it's just the Internet, after all.

Aww. A friend of mine actually worked for Al at one point. An odd boss, he reported, but not a schmuck and certainly interesting. He was not a happy man, Al - hope he finds more peace (or at least a hot piece) in the afterlife.

Did you write it yourself, man? You can be straight with us.

Jesus man, do you live in a humor-free hole?

Snort!

I think he's imaginary dead, so the kid has to go to imaginary prison.

What band was he in?

You can usually find someone to give you food, but drug dealers almost always want cash.

And of course Bob Wills and the guitar-playin' Vaughn brothers. Ha - true. In New York, that would be seen as some kind of attempt to lure one in to be murdered.

I remember once I was hanging out in Burlington, Vt., and I came across a black fellow and I was like, "Damn, you must be awful lonely." As a lifelong resident of the Hudson Valley in upstate New York, I can say there is a shit-ton of racism here, but it is considered extremely tacky to express it publicly. Get people in private and if they think you think like they think, you will hear things.

Seems a little extreme, but people are scared of black teen males more than any other demographic in this country. Was there a boner involved?

That's a singularly weird sensation when they're pulling the tooth out of your jaw, even with novocaine.

Anybody got a hackey sack? Oh, and the Kings of Leon suck tremendous. That they are hugely popular in Europe pretty much negates the argument that Europeans have better taste than Americans.

The best Dead show I saw, I was stoned to the bejesus. Second best, I was sober as a judge. Worst, I was tripping my brains out. So there.

I love going through it and building on my seething resentment of the rich.

Actually, Al Goldstein is way too old and not in charge of said publication. Dennis Hof does fit in to the age criteria.
