Ultimate Music Throwdown 2009
I have a Republican (he says he’s “libertarian”) friend that listens to metal. We argue often. We’re both stubborn.

PR is 98% of it
I love YouTube. It gives me old Miles Davis interviews with awkward msm wannabe anchors.
“Don’t tell ‘em nothin, let ‘em guess. … What’s he gonna do next?”
Gumbel, “You like the Mystery”
“They like it, I’m cool.”
Miles with Bryant Gumbel:
I’ve read more books about Miles Davis than anybody else. His Autobiography at least twice, end to end. [...]
