"When I was 14 I used to have a calendar on my wall, crossing the days off until I was 15, because the school leaving age was 15. Then three months before I turned 15 they changed the leaving age to 16. When I was 18 the vision was to make music that didn't exist, because everything else was so unsatisfactory." - Mark E. Smith, born this day in 1957.

"It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one." - George Harrison, born this day in 1943.

"Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all"

Lou Reed knew the score when he wrote this 50 years ago. Nothing has changed. It's up to us to change it.

What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke.
And I do it a lot.

For anyone keeping score at home, I just fell down my fucking stairs. Right foot slipped right out from under me. No more socks. Damn, hurts. Will hurt more tomorrow. You don't bounce at 63. You thud. Quickly applied an IPA and a Jesus And Mary Chain record. Best possible remedy.
