It's funny; recently I've started to notice people's impersonations of me, and it's basically like a hyperactive child.

No one is you, and that is your power.

If you play a Nickleback song backwards you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you'll hear Nickleback.

That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.
