It's not their fault.

I don't even know if music can save it.

You know, we are the world.

It's a problem.

The art I make outside is a problem because that's what I was going to do.

is I wanted to get a PhD and tenure at some fancy college.

I was gonna wear some weird glasses.

I was gonna know more about Salvador Dali and Matisse and Edvard Munch than anyone on the planet.

Impressionistic painting was gonna be my expertise.

If the History Channel needed an expert, they were gonna call me.

I was gonna know everything and I was already on my way.

The only thing keeping me is I got some sort of speech thing.

I think I just didn't pay attention in all the classes I needed to.

So if you're going to be into impressionistic painting, you better be able to pronounce French painters' names and cathedrals and stuff.

And that was going to be a lot of work.

But I wanted to date college girls and have fun, drink beer, and just be that real liberal, crazy professor.

So Slipknot destroys everything in my path.

And I told people I could say that to you.

And I told people that you were one of the few that would understand and would laugh because it's just, you know, what are you going to do when you make, when you help create something that gives as much as it does?

And it literally powerhouses everything.
