What's WEIRD is the Hot Boys and the whole New Orleans Cash Money thing had a REALLY big impact on the Bay when that was popping off. I don't all the way understand it.

Burnout is grist to the mill. I write EVERY day, for most of the day, so it's just about TURNING into metaphor WHATEVER's going on in my LIFE, in the world, and in my head. Every nightmare, every moment of grief or joy or failure, is a moment I can convert into CASH via words.

GOLD is a commodity; over the long RUN, as we look back, it has not been a good investment. You can't look at the intrinsic VALUE of gold as you can a BUSINESS. Gold doesn't give you cash flow, and, at the end of the day, cash flow is what is important. Gold doesn't give you dividends.
