Theres also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson
Sounds Likefuck you, sex, skinned knees etc.

"It has, moreover, been proven that horror, nastiness, and the frightful are what give pleasure when one fornicates. Beauty is a simple thing; ugliness is the exceptional thing. And firey imaginations, no doubt, always prefer the extraordinary thing to the simple thing." - Marquis de Sade

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars ------------------Jack Kerouac

Not exactly subtle in their delivery, Edmonton’s Jay Sparrow and band play whiskey-soaked "Texas punk" odes to their own demons. On their new album, produced by Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar fame and recorded at Willie Nelson’s own studio in Austin Texas, the Sparrows mix the red-headed stranger’s storytelling with plenty of fire and energy.

-Evan Davies NOW magazine/Toronto
