From your twitter page: "Chris Palko writes for Cage and is sometimes Cage the Definitive Jux recording artist." lol i love how you put that... of course, you just ruined it for all the teenyboppers who think that artists ARE their work or their stage persona 24/7 all the time ("Oh Cage, choke me while you fuck my brains out...!") i think if i had people trying to get in my head or thinking they knew me all the time i'd end up killin a muthafucca. Wouldnt mind the money, but fuck the fame and all the terrible annoying shit that goes along with it!
