let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The Beatles, The Band and The Van.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Not much for choosing between

Iron Butterfly - In-a-Gadda-da-Vida
The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow

even I consider the latter as a more accomplished album.
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

that's a happy bag of lettuce
this car smells like cartilage
