I really don't give a sh*t who is in the Rock Hall of Fame - who is staying up at night thinking about it? I have a Rock Hall of Fame at my house - it's all the CDs and LPs that I own - thousands of my favorite artists are in it ! I don't need my taste or my favorite bands to be validated.

“Rubber Saul. A series I did last year and still one of my favourite things I've ever done. The idea was to reimagine Beatles songs as film posters in the style of mid century graphic designers like Saul Bass.” - Stuff by Mark

but there is too much noise
men kill each other
I'm sick and tired of seeing sad faces
stop that bastard machine
everyone is God and Holy"
