Freddie Mercury and Elton John are, like, two of the biggest Influences in my whole life. And probably always will be.

I don't even know my own phone number.

I like Nine Inch Nails, and I like hip-hop.

We have a saying in Guns N Roses: When somebodys gonna get yelled at, theyre gonna get the corn.

Let sleeping dogs lie or lying dogs sleep or whatever. Time to move on. People get divorced. Life doesn't owe you your own personal happy ending especially at another's, or in this case several others', expense.
