A vegan who beats his wife is far further down the ethical ladder than a meat eater who's kind to his children.

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?
