    Dave Quote Editted!

    Old news?

    __________________________________________________ ___________
    One deadline day, he was in the art department reading through typeset copy that was being pasted onto boards for the next issue, when he came across a pull quote--I believe it was by David Lee Roth of Van Halen--that contained the phrase 'kinky shit,' I think. Gerry was all a-fluster about such rude language being so prominently displayed in the mag, so he stopped to the floor and began searching the carpet for discarded lines of type in the same large font till he came upon the word 'turns,' which--he checked it--would fit right into the space now being so objectionably taken up by 'shit.' So he had Al Rudolph--to his great dismay--paste it in, and that's how the David Lee Roth quote ran: 'I don't go for this kinky turns.' Brilliant, in a post-textual way.

    History for all the wrong reasons uhh?
    Stay frosty now.
    Nostalgia is a form of denial. I love denial. I like selective amnesia, too. Mix the two and you've got a hell of a weekend-DLR
