In Heaven, After Antipasti, The First Course

I Do Not Want And Will Not Take A Royalty On Any Record I Record. I Think Paying A Royalty To A Producer Or Engineer Is Ethically Indefensible. The Band Write The Songs. The Band Play The Music. It's The Band's Fans Who Buy The Records. The Band Is Responsible For Whether It's A Great Record Or A Horrible Record. Royalties Belong To The Band. I Would Like To Be Paid Like A Plumber. I Do The Job And You Pay Me What It's Worth.

My Dad, Frank Addison Albini, Was A Terrific Shot With A Rifle And Had Generally Excellent Hunting Skills. While My Dad Loved Hunting And Fishing, He Didnt Romanticize Them. He Was Filling The Freezer, Not Intellectualizing Some Caveman Impulse Or Proving His Worth As A Real Man.

Doubt The Conventional Wisdom Unless You Can Verify It With Reason And Experiment

I Stopped Drinking Almost Immediately After I Had Ready Access To Liquor, When I Got To College. It Almost Immediately Lost Its Appeal For Me.
