    I honestly think Josh should try write and release of book of poetry. He has a beautiful mind.
    ...Like Clockwork saved me from suicide before. His words are so powerful.

      QOTSA has helped so many people. Like Clockwork was an unbelievable album, so unique. I love all their albums and I am excited to see what Josh does in future. I know a lot of people weren't happy with villains but Josh can't keep making he same music over and over or they would sound like every other band. But it's good to know that it helped you, what was your favourite from Like Clockwork?

    [Verse 1]
    Aimlessly traipsing the garden of Eden
    Hitchhiking hand is all thumbs
    Careless in camouflage
    Cool as chameleons
    Let the boogeyman come
    Nitpicking naysayers barking like beagles
    Through the tall grass of poisonous tongues
    Slide down your throat like
    An antidote you can quote
    Fits like a glove
    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    Tightwads and nitwits and critics and heels
    Correcting your grammar for fun
    Metamorphosis is painfully real
    Ain't no other way to become
    [Chorus]
    I know it's easier said than done
    You can't break a deal if it ain't never real
    Boy, let the boogeyman come
    [Verse 2]
    On roller skates carving smooth shapes past the gates
    Just boogeying like a fucking boss
    Slide down your throat like
    An antidote you can quote
    No extra cost
    [Bridge]
    Only give a little bit
    Take it all, take it off
    Only give a little bit
    Take it all, take it off
    Only give a little bit
    Take it all, take it off
    Only give a little bit
    Take it all, take it
    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    Not one more day as Heaven's valet
    Forget-me-nots coming undone
    Stoners heave rocks at mansions of mirror
    With glassholes as big as the sun
    [Chorus]
    I know it's easier said than done
    All of existence has always been free
    Why listen to anyone?
    Ain't no other way to become
    Slipped staring straight into the sun

The man is just funny as hell! I met him after a show in Indy back in Oct. 2017 and I’m telling ya, while he was standing around talking to us outside after the show, he was just as funny then as he always seems to be. Really cool guy with a fabulous sense of some dry wit humor!

      Wasn't that the Murat show in August of 07?? If so I was at that show too. Regular John started off the show with Gasoline Angels as the opening band.
