I mean, talk about varying talents!
I know!
Graeme Downes of the New Zealand band The Verlaines has a PhD in Musicology, which is a little bit more understandable.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
There aren't a lot of doctor rockers. Whereas there used to be a long tradition of doctor/poets.

I saw the Dream Syndicate open for U2. Precoda made a mighty noise. He would've made the Jesus and Mary Chain proud. Just walls of sonic fuzz.

I did not know Keats was a doctor! Too bad he lived in the era before the understanding of bateriology - he could have saved himself!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
On a lighter note, this is my favorite new xmas song of the year. A duet between Meatwad & Nico Case: [link]
Oh dear. Nico Case is ruined for me! I'll have to listen to some of her songs that aren't about boogers to correct that....

He was an apprentice surgeon, but I don't think he ever practiced.

See, what I like about it is a) she still sings her heart out, b) the song has a great bridge and c) it's about boogers!
I'm not usually a big ATHF fan, but I love this song!
