Brian Doherty: The LAist interview

Los Angeles based news, entertainment, and general fun chatter regarding local goings-on site LAist (edited by local superblogger Tony Pierce) interviews me on the day of my L.A. book store appearance about my new book Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement. Now the results are up , and I think it turned out nicely enough. The accompanying picture up top was taken at, yes, Burning Man.

My friends had Perry Farrell give them a bunch of money to buy new tires because the dipshits drove over the spikey things* at some parking lot when they were on a road trip in LA.

*You know, the things that are in some parking garages and parking lots where you can't go the wrong way without having all 4 tires shredded.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole
we call LA

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

Any fucking time. Any fucking day.

Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure
and Fret for your latte
and Fret for your hairpiece
and Fret for your lawsuit
and Fret for your prozac
and Fret for your pilot
and Fret for your contract
and Fret for your car.

It's a Bullshit three ring circus sideshow
of Freaks Here in this hopeless fucking
hole we call LA The only way to fix it is to flush it all away. Any fucking time. Any fucking day. Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz I sure could use a vacation from this
Silly shit, stupid shit...
One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

Fuck L Ron Hubbard
and Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all those gun-toting Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

Fuck retro anything.
Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies
and Fuck your short memory.

Learn to swim.

Fuck smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional, insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.

The Olsen's conspiracy continues. Every Leftist nutcase book ever written is available on Crystal Drive, but a fine book like yours can not be found there.

dude, tool lyrics? TOOL LYRICS?

what, are you 20?

[tros]

21, actually. LA is the second biggest cyst on the surface of the United States and yes, I think we should deport all of them to North Korea.

When did you stop listening to Tool?
