You know, rarely in life does it become more evident to me that we are on the wrong fucking track as a culture.
Then when I pick up Rolling Stone and Rolling Stone used to have Hunter S. Thompson writing stories about taking acid in Vegas and they were spectacular.
I mean, today they still have Matt Taibbi who breaks down all the reality behind the financial crisis.
But Rolling Stone has a guy on it who is really fat and he's covered in tattoos and he's got your name.
This is the craziest shit I have ever seen in my life as a human.
Because at this point it's like, we're a weird man.
We are a weird fucking species.
There's nothing weirder than, like as if, if he hadn't called himself Rick Ross, this shit would have never happened for him.
As if.
I mean, what kind of faith does that have in your talent?
He could change his name right now.
He could change his name right now to something else and be just as huge.
I mean, how many times has Puff Daddy changed his name?
P. Diddy?
