Charles Baudelaire

Hypocrite reader my fellow my brother!

A sweetheart is a bottle of wine, a wife is a wine bottle.

We are all born marked for evil.

My job in this life is to give people spiritual ecstasy through music. In my concerts people cry, laugh, dance. If they climaxed spiritually, I did my job. I did it decently and honestly.

I grew up in Louisiana and spent my formative years there. There's a contradictory nature to the place and a sort of sinister quality underneath it all.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
