I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth#JohnLennon pic.twitter.com/CIuu26KUFh— Yusuf / Cat Stevens (@YusufCatStevens) December 8, 2019

15 years ago during my first internship in music I got a call that my boss & a member of the band had been shot & that I wasn’t going to come into the office the rest of the week. The next day I woke up and realized it was Dimebag that was killed. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years pic.twitter.com/HRtlRIPyHm
