this brings something to mind i read just the other day in the May 94 _Select_
(yas,yas the one with the Aphex track on bonus cassette)
an interview with Henry Rollins in the "think tank" section
"Have you ever been to a rave? (interviewer asks)"
Rollins: "(showing sound grasp of 2 Unlimited) `Dang-dang-dang-didi-dang-dang-
dang! Go! Go! Go! Go!' Let's just wrap it up and say, This is the shittiest
music ever invented, and the people who do it are talentless idiots who're
highly overpaid. Look. I say, Go on, little techno boy, I will not pull the
plug on you. I will stand up for your right to do it, first in line. But
your music's the worst!"
uh, thanx for not knowing a damn thing, Henry. (chinaski?)
