Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.
This we learn from Watergate that almost any creep'll be glad to help the Government overthrow the people.
My whole family has been having trouble with immigrants ever since we came to this country.

I don't really have a life philosophy; my thing is just rebelling against pretty much organized religion. That is my main thing, because personally I think it's a crutch for people that are too weak to get through life on their own. I'm the kind of guy that says if I don't see it, then it doesn't work.
