I’ve had too much privilege, too many advantages to have a right to be angry. I’ll leave being angry about the world to the people who have the right to be, I’m going to stick with alternating heartbreak and bemusement at the madness around us. I don’t want to colonize their rage. I don’t want to gentrify their rage. I don’t want to make it about me. I don’t want to lead. I just want to be sad.

What’s the song you least hate by a performer you despise? I’ll start: at least Billy Joel’s “My Life” reminds me how damn weird BOSOM BUDDIES was.

Really, you can’t shame a great hero like Honest Abe by naming a band like Linkin Park after him. Motion to refer to them as “Geoffrson Davys Park”.

It is now your mission to start a band that covers metal songs in the style of George Michael called “wham of god”.

I haven’t the iambic pentameter skills but you could do worse than adapting “The Room” as a Shakespearean play.

Tom Cruise could’ve named his kid Carnival but nobody has any vision in this world.

They’re doing a very good job of distracting the extremes with terrible promises they can’t keep and beautiful promises they can’t keep, so that no grown up who knows what they’re doing can jump in and get the possible good things done.

Focus less on your childhood nostalgia intellectual properties rebooting, focus more on rebooting yourself.
