GIRLS playing guitars?! Ugh, how pathetic. When will women learn to leave gor-tar music to the men? This is exactly why I never learned how to play.

I read one of Blake Crouch’s novels several years ago because it was free from the Kindle store at the time and I did not enjoy it at all. His last couple seem to have gotten a very favorable reception though, so I may have to give him another shot. Recursion does sound quite interesting.

Shortly after the news of Gene Wolfe’s death, I started re-reading a lot of his stuff. And then a small press company announced they were releasing a special edition of his series “The Book of the New Sun”, which my wife ended up getting me as an early birthday gift. So I’m reading that.

And as much as I adore Mel Brooks, the 1980s/early 90s ZAZ output arguably generates a

Joey Strummer (rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist of The Clash ) once said that “you’re only as good as your drummer”.

Yeah, Butch Vig and Shirly Manson are a couple nobodies who’ve never done anything in music. Fuck those pissants, I seriously doubt anyone’s ever heard any music THEY put out.

Fuck off with this shit. I hope you get assaulted and then get to enjoy this very same mewling and excuse-making when you come forward.
