So do I. But that's not why I'm dissing Goldie. I'm dissing him because
SaturnzReturn is a bad album, pure & simple. On many tracks - ESPECIALLY
that 60+ minute disaster "Mother" - he's attempting to reach waaaaaay
beyond his talents and just ends up looking like a fool. While I respect
him for having the courage to take on such lofty goals, I also think he's
a self-important twit for not recognizing that the experiment failed and
should never have been let loose on an unsuspecting public.

And I'm sorry, but "Temper Temper" is just so BAD... I caught a bit of the
video this weekend and it just makes me cringe...
