"Nothing bothers me more than when groups like Pearl Jam and Nirvana whine and moan and complain about life and being famous. Let me tell you, being famous is great! The feeling when someone asks you for an autograph, unbelieveable! I just think Americans are tired of people telling them how crap their lives are. I think when people listen to our music, we tell them how good their lives could be. I guess I just can't understand the thoughts of Eddie Vedder or that whole bit... I mean, lad, if you hate your job so much, why don't you fuckin' go work at a car wash or McDonald's or something?"

-Noel Gallagher

Books are friends, Come, let us read.

Into my heart's treasury
I slipped a coin,
That time cannot rust
Nor a thief purloin
Ah, better than the minting
Of a gold crowned king
Is the safe kept memory
Of a lovely thing.

Sara Teasdale
