Footdragging bullshit
10 September 2003

"Fuck this slacker shit. Fuck this shoegazing, footdragging bullshit. That's out."

�Grandaddy's Jason Lytle


"Read as little as possible of aesthetic criticism�such things are either partisan views, petrified and grown senseless in their lifeless induration, or they are clever quibblings in which today one view wins and tomorrow the opposite. Works of art are of an infinite loneliness and with nothing so little to be reached as with criticism. Only love can grasp and hold and be just toward them. Consider yourself and your feeling right every time with regard to every such argumentation, discussion or introdution; if you are wrong after all, the natural growth of your inner life will lead you slowly and with time to other insights."

�Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet


�Rilke? That tortures me. Every Christmas some jerk gives me a copy of Young Poet with a patronizing note on the inside flap about how it's supposed to change my life.�

�Igby Slocumb, Igby Goes Down
