I would cry if I met Reznor right now. My dream is to sit down and make music with him. It won't happen.

In terms of my brush with fame...I've had breakfast with Saed from Lost, Played snooker with Steve Davis at my house, had a meal with Jim Davidson, Had Kenny Jones (drummer for the who/the small faces) round for drinks, chatted with Shane Warne, met Mike Atherton, waved to Kirsten Dunst in Paris and flirted with Emma Watson.

Wow...now I sound arrogant.
I'm still not happy, I'd trade it all for Trent.

Zogmuffin said:

Let me tell you young one, Trent was polite, and boring as hell.
I mean, boring. I've talked to people in the P&R thread more exciting than him.

But when he got on stage, we were all begging him to murder us. It was almost trascendent.

Imago said:

I'm well aware that he is boring, but I figure if I talk music with him and get creative he'll be cool.

I would have killed to have been at that tour. My favourite era... I get angry and upset

susan sarandon came into my former workplace. we chatted about her beautiful handmade necklace.

It was a very magical time for me. I was only 22-23 years old at the time, and completely enamored of Trent. I had his boots, his 10,000 homo DJs outakes, and all his legit stuff. I listenned to his songs religously at that time.

But Germany was all about Front242 and Ministry. Nobody had heard of Nine Inch Nails back then other than Americans. So Trent enjoyed relative anonymity when he sat at the same bar as I did watching his openning act "Die Krupps" perform.

It was really a magical night, and a magical time in my life.

like with all things, I outgrew NIN for the most part, and have expanded my musical palette. But I appreciate the memories.

She's a hot older lady.

Imago said:

Spend 3 hours with me when we're next in Florida and I'll get you hyped again

Imago said:

she's also very nice, polite, and treats everyone with respect.

JasmineFire said:

I like her.

JasmineFire said:

You know it was her son who posed on the couch in the famous Mapplethorpe photograph of a naked 8 year old boy.

Susan and Robert claimed that the image was merely a slice of life, spur of the momment picture, and not meant to be anything more than an interesting aesthetic experiment--no sexual content intended. I believe them both to be telling the truth, but I wonder if she had any inkling of an idea how that would stir up the art world.

I think I can speak for Ben as well as myself when I say...

I hate you Dan.

Sweeny79 said:

Shall we double-team Trent?

Sweeny79 said:

He smelled like Dial soap, that's just how close I had to get up on him to talk over Die Krups. I don't think he would have minded if I started kissing his neck.

i met this real cool indie band called the nervous return,i was really out of it too..so i was shaking alot,they gave me a cd and they sign it!

Imago said:

You are mean.



my tshirt today

Sweeny79 said:

I AM SO FUCKING ENVIOUS OF YOU. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?!

Imago said:

I just looked up that photographer. I wasn't expecting that!

Zogmuffin said:

Sorry...

Zogmuffin said:

Mapplethorpe insisted that you dispell preconcieved notions of what you were looking at and try to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of the image only. For this reason he would place a picture of an orchid beside one of a man being fisted in his ..you-know... and challenge you to try and view each for it's beauty. For example, when veiwing a flower, seldom does it inspire strong emotions in us. Rather, we view pictures of Flowers strictly for their beauty. This was Mapplethorpe's aim.

Imago said:

Sounds like the artwork at a tool concert.

Imago said:

Don't get me wrong, I loved it - but I was surprised. Good job my brothers/friends aren't here.

Imago said:

plus he got to take photos of himself with a whip up his arse

Imago said:

um, i couldn't find the pic of susan sarandon's son but that mapplethorpe sure did love take pictures of weiners.

I miss my Pretty Hate Machine.

JasmineFire said:

Yeah, and erect ones too.

JasmineFire said:

I have a book with some really nice photographs of his. I odn't think I have any penis ones though.

JasmineFire said:

Yes, but don't think of them as penises. Look at them as if they were orchids or dafodils.

Except the black ones of course--they're more like giant prehistoric water lillies.

Imago said:

Oh my god I laughed out loudly then.

Imago said:

i tried but i couldn't.

also, carrie said she had a mapplethorpe book with no weiner pics. so why does yahoo search only show me weiner pics?

i guess i'll try google.
