Hunter S. Thompson quote


The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
There's also a negative side.
Hunter S. Thompson

I like the idea that this space will be saved for posterity's (I just realized that I shouldn't really use that word as it applies to direct lineages only and I currently have no offspring) sake and that I'll be able to flip back through my posts to see what was going on in my life "back then." As such I intend to include things like this quote which I love, and want to at least partially remember. It's not something I'd print out or put on a 3x5 card but knowing that if I'm ever in a conversation with someone and I tell them "there's this great Hunter S. Thomson quote about the music industry," I'd be able to dig around in these pages and come up with the exact one. Something like a brain dump I guess.

I like where you are going with your blog philosophy. I'll try to incorporate a little bit more of that in my blog as well. Love the quote (as you know) and think that Warhol(ish?) graphic is really cool, too. You are doing great!

I think it's so cute that you guys are communicating through your blogs. You are such a 21st century couple.

Ha, ha, Mike! We use email, cell phones, letters, and now blogs. Do you know how hard it is to keep everything straight and not repeat yourself?! Fortunately, we both seem to have a lot of say. Yakity, yak!
