“Professionalism is the death of rock and roll.”
That’s funny. I remember being stuck in a ticket like for 2 hours with their manager, their booking agent, 3 people from their publicity company and their road manager. On the other hand, we were all stuck in the ticket line while Metric was playing - the whole lot of them were late to the gig - so maybe they’re not too professional after all.

“The biotechnology company Genzyme spent five hundred million dollars developing the drug Myozyme, which is intended for a condition, Pompe disease, that afflicts fewer than ten thousand people worldwide. That’s the quintessential modern drug: a high-tech, targeted remedy that took a very long and costly path to market. Myozyme is priced at three hundred thousand dollars a year”

“At the time that Ayn contacted me about Atlas Shrugged, my only real familiarity with her work was the movie version of her previous novel, The Fountainhead, with Gary Cooper. I remember liking the movie because it was unique in that the characters seemed to be the embodiments of ideas as opposed to real flesh and blood people with interests and lives. Now that I think about it, I think that’s why Ayn was drawn to Charlie’s Angels.”
