Well Slash is obviously holding back about the number of songs here. They did Monsters and possibly others. For whatever reason they have decided to stop at Nothing and Atlas. Or that's what he heard and he doesn't really know what will happen.

They've milked this "album" thing now for what, 4 years? And then when we finally get this album of songs they have already released they will milk that too. These guys will be dead before we see new material.

Where is Neville Chamberlain when you need him?

Imagine a President threatening other countries because they did not give him the peace prize! I'm thinking not even Caligula would do that.

And we don't? Brown citizens deserve special protection or something? I get shit for my skin color all the time. Gender too. I'm not going around complaining about it. If these people can't handle showing an ID or something then that is their problem. I know exactly what the deal would be if the shoe was on the other foot. This is literally a non issue. Every citizen in a modern country has to show papers at some time or the other.

Anything interesting?

Well I can't really support him over here in Europe. I don't mind him. He's a fascinating character. Not somebody I would want to do business with, but without a doubt an effective President. I'm continually impressed how much he's got going at his age. Not a man in great shape yet has the energy for all of this. Policy wise I can only say what the stock market is saying, and so far that has been good. Evidently something is happening with the economy that is positive. All of the left/right stuff is becoming increasingly irrelevant to me. It's just never ending noise.
