I remember once reading about a man‚ who got smitten thrice by lightning in life‚ and once in his own graveyard. At that time I thought that fate was a whimsical son of a b***. I know‚ I know… Watch your language and all that‚ but what can I say‚ I’ve never been one to be careful around others‚ I mean‚ people should be able to swallow things like this‚ as long as they’re not said to be hurtful. Aaaaaanyway‚ I’m losing the track of my mind‚ what I meant with all that is simple‚ I’m being struck by

More and more‚ musicians seem to end up promoting or discussing political issues‚ and I got to wondering why this is. My conclusion is that the two are inextricably linked.
