I heard this story once about a kid who bought a monkey, and when he got it got to his house and he let out of the cage it went berserk and peeled most of the skin right off his arm. Then it bit his face and jumped out the window. This record sounds just like that monkey.

Came from the sky like a 747. Classic Rock’s least-reputable byline-grabber since 2003. Several decades deep into the music industry. Got fired from an early incarnation of Anal C**t after one show. 30 years later, got fired from the New York Times after one week. Likes rock and hates everything else. Still believes in Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction, against all better judgment.
