Genesis had all this surgery to turn himself into his girlfriend and then she died and anyway-has anyone seen those pictures? Or am I mixing him up with someone else? He’s got boob implants and his face is totally different.

I liked this odd collection of things. If you havent heard Anton La Vey’s cover version of Billy Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday” played on his church organ, with Mrs. La Vey on backing vocals, then you haven’t lived.
