I love Krispy Kreme donuts, but doesn't the thought of cream that's crispy just churn your stomach?

I hate sports. My reaction to the ball is this [kicks soccer ball] Don't kick it back to me. I don't wanna see it again.
I sometimes think 'Gordon' must be the most bootlegged album in U.S history, since it sold only 200,000 copies in the country, yet 800,000 kids know the words to every song.
As rich as you think some of us are, for every $18.99 CD you buy, the artist usually sees a toonie or so. Pay your producer out of that. Then your manager. Then split it five ways among your band mates. Now don't act surprised when you see the drummer of a platinum-selling Canadian rock band behind the drive- thru window at Tim Hortons
He really gets the music. He's obviously listened to those tracks enough to be able to really understand what it's about.
In a certain way, better than world-class. I've seen a zillion west-end and Broadway musicals and been very disappointed with the production values. They're very, very high here.
I'm very excited about the change. It's a positive change for West Jessamine, and I think in the long run, statewide, it will encourage band growth.
I'm excited to see someone like Andrew still carrying the torch for it and making it something we can keep working with.
That's really frustrating as a musician and a fan. When you make music, you want people to listen to it wherever.
