Writes Mark Bestul:
"Sometimes I feel stupid, immature and like I'm wasting my time for being so obsessed, driven and enthralled with rock music. But, then, at three in the morning and heartbroken what else can you turn to but the Replacements, the Buzzcocks, or Tom Waits? For it's Jesus walking down the steps of heaven, isn't it? This is what I think of when I listen to the Bad Sects."

There were no eggs, and they were necessary for the batter. The freezer compartment was filled with a single-serving frozen confection on a stick, designed so that you only get your fingers minimally sticky, identical to the box of bus trips that I had upholstered to my ceiling.
Forget the brouhaha, you can bet your boots to an aspirin "the great" Mustafio was spanked with regularity as a child, and UNFORTUNATELY he still requires a good smack - not on the wrist - but preferably right across the jaw with a 2x4, because he's been talking a lot of trash lately. Not that I advocate violence, I don't; but this doesn't count. Please, we all have our failings and far be it from me to require hearing such verbal balms and niceties after the fact as, "Abe, please forgive yourself." "Abe, it was an accident," or "Oh Abe, I know you feel horrible." My only two regrets would be that I didn't hammer a few nails into the 2x4 for good measure and that I hadn't thought of this sooner.
