Okay I'm liking this dude more and more
“The way I grew up, it’s critically important to not be an asshole just because you can sing well or whatever. This is the coolest job in the world and nobody, not even Lars, deserves this job. You don’t earn the ability to exclude people or get special treatment and a sense of entitlement just because you can carry a beat. A scary day for me is that I might not make my plane to go and rock people in Brussels, and I realize that’s a fucking gift. When people are successful at rock ’n’ roll, it can make the world seem like a dream, and that’s what will fuck these people up. I like people and want people to feel they can belong—that’s what real rock ’n’ roll is supposed to be about.”
“You see a lot of surgical augmentation in L.A. and it really seems like this sexism put on women. Women are not tits or puffy lips and are much more than what the television and magazines try to make us believe. If somebody has to get tits bigger than their head just to be loved, I find that really heartbreaking. I hate to say it but rock ’n’ roll is sadly still a boys’ club and I think everybody is starting to get sick of it. I sing about debauchery, mainly, and people are getting laid after our shows, but people also have their honeymoons at our shows, people have proposed at our shows and I think that’s really cool because even if I’m singing about getting with the ladies and flirting, I’m really still just the guy who doesn’t cheat on his girl, opens a door for a lady and likes his mom.”
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
