“Lesson seven: cultivate hatred; it is your greatest asset. Here at home, create a tour that no one can turn up to. Throw the groups name away, and leave a question mark in its place.

Malcolm McLaren - The Embezzler

“We're better than anyone, aren't we? Except for The Eagles; The Eagles are better than us.”
