   "Why the fuck would I pick such crappy material? I've done passable   
   versions of Tito Larriva and Bryan Ferry songs. Next time I'm in a   
   krappy-okie bar and they're recording, I'll push one out."

   "The fact that it doesn't apply to the poem is of little consequence to   
   you, because your poems don't have a literary basis, because you're
