Tossing another log on the Matt Gourley rules fire. I'm a recent Superego convert, then devoured I Was There Too, then James Bonding, despite my pretty complete indifference towards that franchise.

"Take your prayers, say your vitamins, miss the point!"

Right. Unconventional angles for sure, but I'd call about half of those shots POV.

+1 for matching syllables.

His flight instructor?

Hmm. Touche, but I still think that qualifies as Late Iron Maiden, which everyone with sense would approach with skepticism.

I saw them for the first time in 2008. They were damn near perfect, but that's to be expected since they've been doing the same show in the states for 40 years.

Thanks for typing out 'like' in your sentence. I can, like, totally ignore you now.

"Maybe I'd sell you a chicken / With poison interlaced with the meat" may very well be the greatest couplet in music history.
