No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Very disquieting but not surprising for that era and milieu. I was reading McKenzie Phillips memoir and the amount of drugs and sex that kids and young teens were exposed to in that world was completely insane. Lori Maddox was about 15, maybe 14, when Jimmy Page first met her and whisked her off. And it's not like anybody was shy about writing songs about 16 year old girls back then either.

There have been reports of UFO activity right outside my workplace.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Reminds me back in '92, we joked that George Clinton should go on tour with Gwar (so it'd be the Clinton-Gwar tour).

A lot of odd stories have risen around Shkreli following this.... But in perhaps the strangest, there were rumors that he was the deep-pocketed investor behind Collect Records, the independent punk/hardcore label run by former Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One of my friends was doing a lot of in-depth research on Shkreli, including message boards by traders of Biotech stocks and he's super shady.
There's a strong feeling that (a) he has rich backer who's been using him as a front; and (b) he was purposefully put out to take heat and manipulate the stock market with this stunt.
Apparently there's a huge amount of false reports and FDA decoying used to manipulate biotech stocks. Shkreli himself - with no official scientific credentials - was allowed to write reports for the FDA. Also, his hedge fund was not licensed which is apparently very shady.
Anyway, my impression is that there's a lot more subterranean shit going on with this story than an asshole blowing up on Twitter.
