"A torturer can cut off a manīs nose, but if the man gets a chance to breed, that child will be born with a nose. So with instinct! A core of unmodifiable instinct in man means that the brainwashers must begin their work over and over again, with each individual and each generation and this, in the end, is a very wearisome business."
-found this in an old notebook, i think itīs from Bruce Chatwin.

"Anyway, I eventually had to glue my eyes back in because my arm looked like it was getting red. And it was.[...]Getting back to the hotel I noted I was red in a very weird pattern, it looked like mostly where my backpack was. Anyway, I ate dinner [...]. And that's when someone pointed out to me that I was red. And I looked again. The white parts are now red, so I'm not sure what'll happen to the red parts." - Dean Katsiris, 06/01/2005

Frank on attendees of current tour:
"As long as they pay the money to get in the door, I'm quite happy to play for them.
But we don't feel like we're playing old songs. We're just sort of picking up where we left off.
We feel like the songs are still contemporary."
