" How are THEY supposed to control a
population that knows it'll never die? When that was always THEIR last
big chip, when THEY thought THEY had the power of life & death."

I think we should realize first who is the speaker of these quotes (Zoyd?
Mucho? I don't remember) and second what the hell does a "population that
knows it'll never die" actually mean now? Is TRP just giving further
evidence of these boys refusal to grow up, nostaligic for their
acid-inspired years, so much rambling crud for us living in the bleak
80's. or lamenting for his past gone by?
In my garbage head days, hey I knew that feeling but it's gone now. What
is the dividing line between childhood and adult-dom: "the recognition
of death". What is the dividing line b/w adultdom and wisdom: "the
acceptance of death".
Curious as to whether TRP will have much mention of drugs in the next
opus?
