CRAWLING ROLLING STONE… "If you want to call our music dark, that's fine," Aron Lewis says, "I'm calling it reality based." "A true skater can have more fun on a few feet of curb than six people all day at Disneyland," Skateboarder Elissa Steamer "The most main reason I skate is the eight-second feeling I get riding away from a hammer. It builds juices in my brain." Skateboarder Greco "I'd give anything if I had stayed my butt at home." Puffy Combs on the night of the Club New York shooting. "If I see something dragging, lagging, or sagging, I get it fixed." Dolly Parton "If I flop, I'm moving to another country, growing dreads and changing my name to Abugula." Eve, about the album Scorpion. "I never was the type to think, 'Oh, if I could just get a date with Winona Ryder, everything would be all right." Stephen Malkmus "I was in prison with psychopathic wife beaters and murderers. It was like therapy." Shifty Shellshock Dale Earnhardt, Sr's Number 3 car hit the wall at Daytona at more than 160 MPH. Dale, Jr. watched the accident happen in his rearview mirror. "It could've been worse. They could've compared me to Fred Durst." Stacey Jones on being compared to Dave Grohl "To be called an elder statesman is so unbelievably insulting. Brad Pitt is exactly three years younger than me." Michael Stipe "Fred Durst is doing some Al Jolson shit. It's the eqivalent of singing "Mammy" to a rap beat. It's disrespectful." Mos Def "It's like a runner kicking the wall all day long." Ozzy Osbourne, on being a singer who smokes. "If you dwell on how terrible your life has been, it will remain forever terrible." Aron Lewis 3:34:07 PM    comment []

NO THOUGHT UNEXPRESSED… If the doctor says, "This won't hurt, it will. If the doctor says, "This may be uncomfortable," it will hurt like hell. If the doctor says, "This may hurt a little," the pain will be unbearable. You call a service or business for help, and the first person you get claims to be able to handle it, and insists on hearing the whole question, before turning you over to someone else. You are doing 70 in the slow lane, and someone tailgates anyway. So now it is dangerous to go fast in the slow lane. You call New Jersey from the West Coast, and get san answering machine. Your party sings an aria from La Boheme before the beep. The call costs $8.00 I never got over my rage at playing mixed volley ball; the boys hogged the ball so the girls stood around like statues. But today's girls sometimes flatten the boys.                         6:55:51 AM    comment []
