	He also went on to mention Larryland (or their hit "Pepper," at least)

	I'll tell you where I see it, though I can't speak for Mr. Jackson.  I
see a neverending circle-jerk of personalities being masqueraded as
"artists" (i.e., the shameless fawning over of white-boy blues locals,
mediocre punk rock, noise-rock sans inspiration and made by hacks who
think it's alright to rip off my bloody valentine or negativland, just
because they've never made it big in the U.S., etc.)

	I'd certainly like to see it, but I'm not about to give you or any of
the other Chronicle yokels my contact info.  I hate you just as much as
I hate them.  Your elliptical twaddlings are about as valid as fucking a
deceased animal is sane.
