Life's to short to be fucking around reading Cormac McCarthy. Ditto Flannery O'Connor and R Carver, to name but 2.
Life is shit. Oh fuck, no kidding Einstein, better write a pithy short story about it.

Doubt it.

Now now, you know you can't use that word anymore!

No, no, 'Draw the Line' was an Aerosmith album, Jeff Beck never played with them.

At least 25 years too late for me, night after night listening to the likes of the Powder Monkeys and Bored! in tiny bars with the coup de grace applied by Helmet at point blank range, with insult added to injury by a punctured ear drum about 10 years ago. I say turn that shit up!

Everybody knows chicks have shit taste in music.

SPICER 2020!

I had a nice jazzy reply all typed out but then I thought, this young fella's really cut up about this and so as you can see I didn't post that. I too am famously nice and genial and have also struggled with depression so I can sympathise to a certain extent but fuck me this awesome family man has left 6 kids without…

He shoulda swapped places with me, getting up at 5 every morning to go to work in a factory would have been infinitely preferable to sitting around in a Hollywood mansion doing drugs all day!

'Ten past ten'? What's that in Digital?

A millionaire junkie ODs leaving 6 kids without a father and I'm the 'asshole'?

Aw.
