You have to ask these questions: who pays the piper, and what is valuable in this life?
Whenever I have bid a hasty goodbye to a loved one, I've always made sure that my record collection was safely stored away in the boot of the car.
Back in my day, we called it rock 'n' roll, but then we always reminded listeners that it was no big deal if they didn't like it.

I like to make my voice sound like a piece of tin that's been stuck on the side of a chair, lifted up as far as it would go and then let to spring - "doooiiinng."

So I like to take it beyond just a voice, more into the realms of a weapon.
