Fiona Helmsley
“A shit show is chaos as religion, because "God is dead." A shit show all by itself is usually a crime. A shit show when put on paper or to music, is no longer whirling, twirling chaos. Then it's art. We can take it on the road, and we can travel with it. Have shit show, will travel.”
Fiona Helmsley, My Body Would Be the Kindest of Strangers

“take a salad of pills and hit the floor”
