“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.”

“The press is a gang of cruel faggots. Journalism is not a profession or a trade.

No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs.”
