Hey, kids, welcome to the last entry of the Phile. Ha! Kidding. It might as well be though as Sir Paul McCartney is here. How can I top that? I'll find a way... I still haven't got Kelly Clarkson on the Phile yet. Listen, I'm sorry, but if you don't like the Beatles I see no reason to continue our friendships. If the Beatles were still producing music in today's music world, they would be considered a country music band. Alright, let's see what is going on in the news...
Just when you thought America's obsession with celebrity gossip couldn't do anything except distract you from work and slowly burn away your brain cells, a recent Twitter trend has come to save our dignity. What's more important than Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson's breakup, whatever new thing Kayne West has decided to ruin, One Direction's status, and the Kardashians? According to Twitter, it's registering to vote. Twitter users have harnessed the power of clickbait to lure people into the booths before the November midterms, and it's having a powerful effect. The trend began with Ashlee Marie Preston, whose link to register to vote has been clicked on over two million times. All thanks to Kim and Kanye. Whether or not this method will actually lead people to the voting booths is difficult to predict, but it certainly has people engaging. If you haven't yet taken the two minutes required to register to vote, but you are willing to spend five minutes analyzing every detail of Pete and Ariana's breakup, it's time to wake up! And, if you're already registered and awaiting the fateful future day in November, feel free to indulge in devising a plan for how to handle Kanye. Happy voting!
Stormy Daniels' defamation lawsuit against President Trump has been dismissed by a federal judge. The porn star, former lover (sorry, Stormy), and "Shark Week" partner of the president, sued him over a tweet he wrote in April that implied the man who had threatened her over coming forward with the truth about their affair was a "total con job." District Judge S. James Otero wrote, "The Court agrees with Mr. Trump's argument because the tweet in question constitutes 'rhetorical hyperbole' normally associated with politics and public discourse in the United States. The First Amendment protects this type of rhetorical statement," despite the fact that Daniels argued that his tweet "charged her with committing a serious crime." Trump, of course, is handling his feat with grace, dignity and presidential humility. Just kidding! Instead, he's pulling schoolyard insults out of his "Comeback Book," and you bet, they're sexist too!
It's obvious that Trump still finds Stormy (Danials? It's Daniels, sir) incredibly attractive considering the only insult he could think for her was to compare her to every girl's favorite animal: a horse. Horses are majestic creatures full of strength and speed. They have giant brown eyes adorned with professional extension-quality lashes and a mane of thick, shiny hair. All this insult says is that Trump is sad a hot girl called him out. Stormy, possessing all the strength of a stallion, responded to the confusing compliment...
Well done, Stormy. Looks like our country is just in name-calling territory now. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em? Luckily, the Internet doesn't approve of Trump's horse face comment either. Grab the reins, it's a wild ride!
Even though the United States fought a little war against monarchy called the American Revolution, Ivanka Trump has a coveted White House position by virtue of having sprung from Donald's loins. White the White House was once believed to be the place where the nation's best and brightest gather to serve the people, it has turned into something of a revolving door spinning through people with various qualifications (remember The Mooch???). Even though her dad insists that she's smart and stuff, Ivanka has yet to display it, and struggled Tuesday morning with accurately copying-and-pasting inspirational quotes. Much like the time she made up a Chinese proverb, The Most Annoying Mom You Follow On Instagram posted a fake quote from Socrates, the father of philosophy. Ivanka Trump tried to quote Socrates and it could not have gone worse for her. Because Googling your sources before you tweet out to millions of people is such a pain, Ivanka confused the Greek philosopher for a gas attendant character in the book Way Of The Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives. She deleted it and posted a new one, noting that it's a quote from Fake Socrates.
Just what exactly does Ivanka want to build anew? Also, what is this "fictional character" business? Attribute the quote that an author wrote to the author! It's a bad day for the 'Vankster. Her father just called her Horseface. Calling Stormy Daniels Horseface is not just offensive to her but it’s kinda offensive to Ivanka too, given Trump told Daniels she reminded him of his eldest daughter. We all learned something here today: an unexamined tweet is not worth tweeting.
One of the hardest parts of selling stuff online is getting the right photo. You want to show an honest snapshot of what you're selling while also using the most flattering dimensions and lighting possible. If you're selling something straight out of your room (like a dresser) it can be super easy to forget all the other keepsakes poking their heads into the photos, or even worse... a mirror exposing you. A prime example of this made the rounds last week after Twitter user Sophie Eke's mom tried to sell a wardrobe online. Everything started like business as usual, Eke's mom took a photo of the wardrobe and uploaded it for potential sellers. However, since she was photographing in the comfort of her own home, she didn't consider the placement of her mirror and the photo ended up being x-rated. A potential seller promptly messaged Eke's mom to let her know that her boobs were visible in the mirror, and the photo was quickly taken down. Naturally, once Eke caught wind of the exchange and got her mom's consent, she shared the hilarious blunder with her Twitter followers.
Even the potential buyer had a good laugh while remaining respectful (which is a rare combination for strange Craigslister types). A few people were concerned about Eke showing the entire Internet her mom's boobs, but she quickly confirmed that her mom knew. Honestly, Eke's mom must have a pretty good sense of humor if she's okay with this many strangers laughing along at her mistake, and I truly respect that.
Do you like dogs? I love dogs myself but some can be such assholes. Look at this...
You know what he would say if he could talk. "Now you'll have to stop watching TV and take me on a walk." Hahahaha. You know what makes me laugh as well? Old people wearing inappropriate t-shirts.
She looks so happy though. You know who would do a better job as president... a fucking penguin.
Hahaha. That made me laugh as well. How's your child doing in school? Is he or she as witty as this kid who dis this?
I don't know too much about manscaping, but I think I might get this done...
What do you think? So, one of the best things about the Internet is you can see porn for free and real easily. The problem with that is if you have a blog, such as this one, even though you might have an interview with a music legend like Paul McCartney, someone might get bored and start to feel horny and go straight to a porn site. I thought if I showed a porn pic here than you wouldn't have to leave. The problem with that is what about if you're at work or school. I don't want you to get fired. So I came up with a solution that seems to be really popular.
You. Are. Welcome. It's Thursday and you know what that means...
What the fuck? Oh, man. My eyes are watering now. Shit. Alright, it's time to talk football with my good friend Jeff.
Me: Hey, Jeff, welcome back to the Phile. How are you?
Jeff: It's always great to be back on the Phile! And on what a great day to be back on the Phile!
Me: Yeah. So, before we start talking bout football I have to mention today's pheatured guest... Paul McCartney. I take it you're a Beatles fan, right?
Jeff: Of course I'm a fan of the Beatles. You can't love music if you don't love the Beatles.
Me: What's your favorite Beatles song and who is your favorite Beatle? Hahaha.
Jeff: I have a few favorite songs. "Twist and Shout," "Something," and "Let It Be." But no one is a bigger fan of them then my BFF Chris. Favorite Beatle? It's either Paul or John.
Me: I bet I'm a bigger fan than Chris. Okay, let's talk about football. I can't stand Cam... or Scam Newton and I can't stand Tom Brady but I have to mention this... Newton tried to ignore John Norman during postgame handshakes and on the flip side Brady sprinted across the field to shake Patrick Mahomes' hand after the Patriots won. What do you say about these two?
Jeff: I used to be a fan of Newton but he kinda started to whine a little too much for me. But he's still a good QB. And this isn't the first time Brady left the field without shaking the hand of the other QB. So sadly I'm really not surprised. Unfortunately.
Me: Speaking of the Patriots, they called for zero penalties despite numerous instances of blatant missed calls. Is that normal? What's your take?
Jeff: Is it normal for a team to not get a single penalty? No. That's not normal at all. I'm not saying there's a conspiracy for New England. All I will say is that is very suspicious.
Me: What NFL stories do you have?
Jeff: The biggest news of the week is the passing of the Seahawks Chairman/Owner Paul Allen on Monday. He was 65-years-old when he died. Sunday night when Tyrek Hill was celebrating a touchdown in Foxboro, a New England Patriot fan threw beer on him. Hill wants to have him prosecuted. It looks like he might be getting his wish. The fan has been banned from the New England stadium and his information has been turned over to the police. So it's something to keep an eye on.
Me: Okay. Britain took over another tram by the way...
Jeff: That's not a very intimidating Viking right there. But I like it!
Me: Okay, so, how did we do last week? I'm still in the lead, right?
Jeff: Not only are you still in the lead, but you had another perfect week. You went 1-1 with a Giants loss. I took the Oh-fer and 0-2 with a Steeler win. So not only are you still in the lead, your lead has grown by a point. And the Steelers have the bye week this week.
Me: Yes! Let's pick for this weeks games... I say Bears will beat the Patriots by 5 and Colts by 3. I will be at the Giants and Falcons game in Atlanta on Monday so look for me Monday night.
Jeff: I'm going to go with Chiefs by 7 and Saints by 3. Now... on to Sir Paul!
Me: Alright, see you back here next Thursday.
If you spot the Mindphuck then let me know. Okay, here's another common Halloween costume you probably didn't know were horribly...
Costume: Cat.
Why it's offensive: Everyone loves cute, little, cuddly cats, right? Sure, except for maybe the billions of birds and mice that domesticated house cats murder every year. The popularity of cats as house pets has helped expand their bird holocaust, and has already contributed to "multiple wildlife extinctions" on some islands. By dressing up as a cat, you're basically supporting the eradication of endangered wildlife and animal cruelty in general.
You don't have to be British to laugh at this meme, but it will bloody well help.

Ethan will be the guest on the Phile in a few weeks. Okay, here's the moment you've been waiting for.
What can I say about today's guest? He is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. He gained worldwide fame as the bass guitarist and singer for the rock band the Beatles, widely considered the most popular and influential group in the history of pop music. His latest album "Egypt Station" is available on Amazon, iTunes, and Spotify. Please welcome to the Phile, the amazing, fantastic and one and only... Paul McCartney!
Paul: Oh, great. Good to do it. Good to be here on the Peverett Phile.
Me: Paul, I love the new album "Egypt Station." I have been playing it pretty non-stop in my car. I think it's one of your best albums ever. What do you think of it?
Paul: Oh, thanks, I'm pleased with it. I had a good time recording it and I had a good time working with Greg Kurstin and Ryan Tedder. We had a laugh, it was great.
Me: I liked how the album had different kinds of feels and a mix of different music. Was that done on purpose?
Paul: I didn't want to do everything straight. The songs I had were pretty straight forward like love songs and ballads and stuff. We put in a couple that were a little bit left field.
Me: How did the album get to be called "Egypt Station"? Did you have that title from the beginning?
Paul: No, not really. It was like half way through that I said I think "Egypt Station" might be a good title for the album and Greg liked it. I said, "So, what do you think? 'Egypt Station'?" He gave me a slightly puzzled look and said that's great. Then I kind of explained it it's a painting and I thought we can make a little soundscape to do that. Then I had this idea to have this choir come swelling out of it so it was like a heavenly vision. Thinking of film terms... station then the song comes out of it.
Me: So, did the bookend train station sounds come to mind halfway through the album?
Paul: Yeah, that was more towards the end once we had the title. We knew what we were going to do, we'd make it all take place and start in the station then we'll go through all the songs we did in the station and we'll end up at a destination.
Me: I like how the beginning of the album goes from the train station sound to the piano intro. I didn't know what to think when I first heard it. I was confused. Is that what you were going for?
Paul: Yeah, it's kinda nice because it breaks people out of that with the first song. There's this sort of piano thing and then where's this going... It's kind pf puzzling for the first few minutes and then it's like oh, it's a song. The drums kick in and we know where we are. It was nice to make, we really had a great time.
Me: I have to mention the song "Fuh You," which made me laugh out loud. I was like what did he just sing? What were you thinking when you wrote that?
Paul: When I'm in the studio I'm kind of working but it's music so it's kind of fun. We like to not take it too seriously. So we develop a little camaraderie where we have a joke and a laugh. On that song we were making it up and it came to that and I just sang that. We knew it'll be misconstrued but we were quite glad. When you read the lyrics it's perfectly straight but my daughter when she heard it she walked in and said, "Did I just hear what I heard?" I was like I don't know, I don't know. It's just to have a bit of fun.
Me: I didn't realize that Ryan Tedder was the lead singer from OneRepublic. I saw them open for U2 last year and thought they were great in concert, but I didn't know any of their songs really. How was it like working with him and how did that happen?
Paul: "Fuh You" was with Ryan. I did three tracks with Ryan and that's the one on the album. There are two others that are nice. We only were together a week because Greg was doing something else and my manager rang up and said, "Do you want to keep the momentum going?" I said I don't mind, I'll take a few weeks off. He said if I want to I could get with another producer to switch it up a bit. So he sent me some suggestions and I liked Ryan's stuff and I was yeah, he'd be great. So I rang him and we decided he'd come to my studio for a week and we'd see how we went. I said I have a few songs we could do but in the end he fancied just to make it up. So we just went in with nothing, just the beat kind of thing and I had an idea of some lyrics and just built it up. He knows what he's doing. Did you interview him?
Me: No, not yet. Maybe one day. What was it like working with Greg Kurstin?
Paul: Well, he's great. I actually written all of the stuff that I did with Greg so it wasn't like talk of making it up. It was more of a question of trying to make a good record with the songs that I had.
Me: What was the biggest difference between working with both producers?
Paul: With Ryan as we only had a week we'd make it up, each song had a different feel, and that's what we wanted to do, break it up a bit and not have every station have the same sound.
Me: Did you play all the piano and keyboards on the album, Paul?
Paul: No, Greg plays a little bit of the keyboard on the record as he's really good. So I'd have an idea and one of the tracks there's this instrumental thing and I said, "It'll be good to just read it down and just play it on piano." So I started that and I thought this was going to take me forever. I said, "Greg, could you do this?" He goes, "Let me try." And he did it perfectly of course. I was like alright, he's got it. He's got a great "producery" feel particularly for keyboard. I knew he's done Adele's "Hello" and he's done the instruments on that. If you listen to it it's very simple but the keyboards are a really good sound. I had a couple of songs that I was a bit busy on the keyboard, it was a little bit too much and he tried something else which was much better. Just have some space to breath. So, he's a keyboard whiz.
Me: Were all these songs made for this record or were any of them songs you wrote in the past and never used?
Paul: Most of them were new but there were a few that I wrote quite a while ago.
Me: How many songs did you do for this album? Any you didn't put on it?
Paul: I think we did about twenty tracks, and there's about ten or so that didn't get on the album. Some of those particularly were older ones.
Me: What songs did you write a couple of years ago?
Paul: Hmmm. I'm trying to think on this album... there are a few I've written a couple of years ago. "Who Cares" was a couple of years ago. Most of them were kind of recentish.
Me: Who is the song "Confidante" about? That's just a sweet song.
Paul: It's an ode to an acoustic guitar.
Me: What was the story behind that song?
Paul: What happened was I was at home on my own once and I just looked over at my guitar which was propped up in the corner and I thought wow, there was a time when I would be playing that all the evening. But I had something else to do, I had something to eat, I was watching a little bit of telly so I kind of side lined the guitar and I felt kind of in a way a little bit sorry that I've just grown out of playing the guitar EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY! I thought okay, I am going to apologise to the guitar so I started sort of strumming it and was like it used to be my confidante, my underneath the staircase friend. That was one of the places I'd play, hiding away. I'd always go into these little hidey places. People who don't know that story are going to think it's about other things. It can be interpreted as humans rather than an inanimate object.
Me: Do you ever know what you're going to write a song about?
Paul: No, I never know what I'm going to write a song about. I just get a little inspiration and I think here goes nothing. I'm writing to a guitar but I'm just going to follow it through. "I played with you throughout the day and told you every secret thought." That's what I do when I write a song. It's sort of a therapy session. I'm getting to say all these little things that I don't say to people in a song.
Me: I love the line "butterflies wearing army boots, stomping around the forest." That's a very Beatlesque line, am I right? Haha.
Paul: Yeah, I liked the image of butterflies wearing army boots.
Me: Do you have books with titles and possibles lines that you have written down over the years?
Paul: Yeah, not at home, they are right there in my head. I've got books of my travels. Another thing is my phone is loaded with fragments, little ideas, but I'm trying to stop that. Now I've got a lot of ideas, some are little ideas, some are pretty good he said modestly. So I know I've got to take some time and sit down and actually finish them. I've got loads of stuff, things I just grab and put them into songs.
Me: When I interviewed Paul Simon a few months ago he said when he writes for an album he stops when he has enough songs for the album. Is that the same for you?
Paul: That's what it is, yeah. I've got maybe ten or twelve songs or maybe more and I think whoa, I cannot just keep having thirty or forty songs. I'm never going to get around to it. That's when I think okay, now, let me think who my producer is and where I want to go and how I want to do this. Do I want to involve the band? That's the cut off point, when I've got so many songs.
Me: Have you ever written a song that you liked and played but never recorded?
Paul: I was doing a standards album that turned out to be "Kisses on the Bottom" and I did suggest one song to the producer, Tommy LiPuma, and it was a song about New York, but I think there's so many good New York songs that he wasn't that keen. So he passed it over and that really put the cabosh on it for me. I did perform it on Parkinson though. Anyway, I thought just forget it.
Me: You are one of the greatest songwriters ever, Paul, and one song I really liked on the album was "Hand in Hand." How did that song come about?
Paul: I remember it was late at night and I've been out somewhere and didn't want to go to bed yet so I was noodling away on the piano and I got those chords. I was thinking romantically about Nancy and I kind of finished most of it up there and then and then I went to bed. I knew I had an easy little bit, like the middle. I did the middle the next day. I always thought it was a pretty little thing.
Me: You've been playing piano for a long time, Paul, does it come easy to you now? Do you do a lot of thinking when you are writing a song?
Paul: Not really, no. If I'm lucky it just comes. I just got to be in the right mood and feel like I'm really going to write a great melody now. I just start up and if I'm lucky I'll be like yeah, this is good. I don't really sweat over it, I'm very lucky. I have this thing that comes to me quite naturally.
Me: When you write a song do you write the lyrics first or second?
Paul: It often happens at the same time. It happens in different ways. Sometimes it's that, playing and singing it and I get the words. Sometimes it's just the melody and I don't have any words so I just work on the melody and make sure I've got that right. Sometimes I write a song, not many, that were just lyrics. I remember once I was on a Beatles tour bus and we had three hours from Southhampton to London or somewhere and I'm just sitting there on my own and I thought of the lyrics to "All My Loving." When we got to the theatre where we were I went to the piano or guitar or something and sang "close your eyes" and got the tune of it. The lyrics all came first.
Me: Do you write on both guitar and piano?
Paul: Yeah, I write on guitar and piano and sometimes I actually switch them. I get fed up if I'm not going anywhere on the piano, and I think I wonder what it sounds like on guitar. Somehow it could lead me to a different place. Then I could go back to the piano. Anything to get out of not knowing what to do. I've got couple of little tricks.
Me: "I Don't Know," the first song on the album, one you mentioned earlier, has a very melancholy intro. What made you decide to start the album with that song?
Paul: As for it being an opener we just liked it and we just thought it would just work out of the station opening. I just thought the vibe of that coming out of this slightly spacey opening would work so we tried it and we thought it worked. I have since thought it's not exactly a jolly opener, it's a very serious track. I think so what, we get you in that mood and then we break you out of it with the next song "Come On to Me." That's more of a sexy pick up song.
Me: Do you have any influences that you think of when you write a song, Paul? Everybody I interview who I ask who their influences are the Beatles so I doubt they "influence" you. Haha.
Paul: Right at the end of he record there's a track called "Hunt You Down." It's just like a little rock and riffs thing. That was written right after I've seen Prince in Britain in the new year and played a New Years Eve concert. I was definitely thinking of him. The thing of it is I think of him, I get inspired, I write it like I'm him, then I listen back to it and its nothing like him. It's okay because I used the inspiration. To write "A Long and Winding Road" I had Ray Charles in mind but it didn't turn out like Ray. But those chords on that song, you can imagine that being Ray. There's just little tricks like that I get that once they work a couple of times I go I'm stuck, so I pull them off the shelf and go let's try that trick. Let me pretend I'm Bob Dylan for this bit. Let me pretend I'm Elvis and it often breaks the deadlock and leads me to a good place.
Me: One thing about our music I always liked from the Beatles stuff all the way to the new album is that you always add a few little things to the songs. How do you go about adding those little parts?
Paul: Well, they just happen when I'm making the record. I've done the song and I put down the basic thing. Then if I want to have something like an orchestration or I want to produce it a bit more then I can add things. Basically with this I was sitting around with Greg and I said, "I think what would be great with this piano is a harpsichord. Mix that in with the sound and we'll get a hybrid." Right around this time we were making the album the "Sergeant Pepper" rerelease was coming out and there's a program on that Howard Goodall did where he dissected it. I'm watching this like a punter, what did we do, how did we do this. He said you might think the "Penny Lane" piano is one piano and I was like yeah, it is. Well, it's not. Then he starts dissecting it and it was one piano, then there's this tinny and there's this harmonium piano. There's actually eight pianos on this. I came in the next day and said to Greg, "Bloody hell! You should've seen this thing!" So we started doing that, making little hybrids. One thing is it's just good fun to do that instead if just putting a piano sound down. That's okay but it's nice to start messing with the tone and get a sound I like.
Me: One song that is kinda different from your other stuff you have written is "Back in Brazil." What's the story about that one?
Paul: That was a hard one to crack because I'd written it on a day off in Brazil when I just happened to be on my own. Nancy had gone to New York for something and I happened to be there on my own. So I've done everything I wanted to do, I had a little breakfast, I'd been to the gym, so now I was just lounging around. There was a little Wurlitzer in the suite we were staying in so I started playing with that. I had that, I had the basic thing, I wrote the song there in São Paulo. Then we came to record it and we couldn't get it right. We tried quite a few things on the rhythms to get the feel and in the end we got the one that's on the record. We were pleased with it. We put some percussion on it and suddenly it fell into place.
Me: Okay, so, I have to ask, is the song "Despite Repeat Warnings" about Trump?
Paul: It is. When Trump got in I think a lot of people were dismayed. I understand why he got in, he just told people he was going to get them jobs, he was going to get them money, and everybody thought alright, we'll go with him. But like I say, a lot of people think this guy is not all there. Everyone else is getting done for sexual abuse and he's like "grab pussy!" And boasting about it and nobody is touching him. The song is particularly about his attitude to climate change. He says it's a hoax put on by the Chinese and I'm going I don't think so. There's floods and heat waves all over the place, there's free, that's what people were warned about what exactly is happening so I don't think it's a hoax. So I just thought this is it, this is what we're in for. What America is in for is a captain who is steering the ship and they warned him don't go over there there's like icebergs and he's like "I don't care. Don't worry, lads. Just stick with me."
Me: Where did the title of that song come from?
Paul: I've seen that in a newspaper in Japan and it said "despite repeated warnings so and so happened." I thought, yes, that's my title. Despite repeated warning climate change is probably not a hoax. But this guy has been warned and he's not going to listen. That was it and it became one of those episodic epics.
Me: I love the song "Come On to Me." That's a great song, and I wish I had written it. What is the story about that one?
Paul: The thing is, let's face it, we all have these thoughts and for me I often remember occasions and this is where I was and to me that's straight out of the sixties. Some of the parties in the sixties where I saw a beautiful girl and she gives me a certain look and I go I want her or whatever. It just seemed like a good subject for a song and once I got the idea of "I saw you flash a smile, that seemed to me to say you wanted so much more than casual conversation" and I was off. That was sort if how it happened in the sixties at parties and it was just a sort of imaginary thing. I had written a lot of those, a lot of mini novels, a lot of short stories, based on something I've seen or thought. I remember George Harrison saying to me, "Why did you do that? How did you do that?" Because George would write songs that were sort of autobiographical and he did it often. Sort of like "Piggies," that was like a short story novel. Most of George's things like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Here Comes the Sun" are not little short stories. He was puzzled why I did that. It's just a way of writing that I kind of like.
Me: Paul, you're a legend and your music has been a big part of my life and I appreciate you being here on the Phile.
Paul: I'm really chuffed to have done interviews like this. This was a great one. Thanks, Jason.
Me: Thanks, Paul, please come back on the Phile soon.
There you go, kids. That about does it for this entry of the Phile. Thanks to my guests Jeff Trelewicz and of course Paul McCartney. I am overjoyed that Paul McCartney was on the Phile. As it does for millions of people around the world, Paul McCartney’s music occupies a very special place in my heart. I was raised on his songs and, at this point, life is quite unimaginable without them. So, to get the opportunity to interview Paul talking about what he does best... songwriting... was the thrill to end all thrills. I can’t thank him enough for doing it. I really hope you enjoy the interview with Paul. The Phile will be back next Thursday with actor Brad Dourif. Spread the word, not the turd. Don't let snakes and alligators bite you. Bye, love you, bye.
Not if it pleases me. No, you can't stop me, not if it pleases me. - Graham Parker
