Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas:
"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. "
"One for the doctor..."

"From there it's your typical spiel
Yeah if life was a highway
I was drunk at the wheel"
The Beautiful Letdown by Switchfoot
"We are a beautiful letdown
Painfully uncool
The church of the dropouts
The losers, the sinners, the failures, and the fools
What a beautiful letdown
Are we salt in the wound
Hey, let us sing one true tune"

I feel the same way about disco as I do about herpes. ( Lecture @ University of Colorado 77 )

Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. ( Kingdom of Fear )

"Everything beautiful in my life has also been imperfect and everything that has been painful has brought me to a better understanding of what beauty and truth really are. We're skating on thin ice, this is the beautiful letdown".
