+| Drugs: Why not fill yourself with something that can give you a fake sense of security, confidence, or superiority? I mean as long as you are happy, who cares what other people think? Remember, it is all in your mind. No matter what they say, where they lock you up, in the end it will be your fault, and your fault only. If you are winning in your mind, you could be burning to death with maggots eating at your skin, and you could still feel as if you've accomplished something. Get a drug habit and die.

I Walk The Line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

John Lydon answered questions in a webchat with the Sun Online and as usual with anything he says it was very interesting. Included is his response to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When asked if he would play with the Pistols again he said "I could see a day when we played live together again - but only if it was in Japan and for plenty of filthy yen! My moral code isn't that strict.."

Google has just launched a music-specific search engine... mirroring successful services involving news, photos, and shopping results. The music offering, which went live early this morning, delivers artist-related images, lyrics, reviews, discographies, and news, as well as links to purchase CDs and downloads. The suite of results can be triggered by simply entering a music-specific query, like "Prince," "All-American Rejects," or "Mozart". Several digital music stores are represented in the e-commerce results set, including iTunes, MSN Music, CD Universe, Rhapsody, and Wal-Mart. The service also aggregates reviews from sources including Rolling Stone, Canoe, and Blender, and compiles a consensus rating (out of five stars). Links to relevant lyrics sites are organized within song-specific pages....
I bet publishers won't like this service.

The original punk rock comedian Richard Pryor died today of a heart attack. Dammit.

Prince signs new deal with Uninversal and is expected to hit the road again following the next release...imagine that seeing how his last tour for Musicology made over 90 MILLION dollars. Like his last deal with Sony's Columbia label, the deal looks like a "one off deal".

The Music Industry goes after lyrics sites and tabulature sites. It has shut numerous sites down already.
