Just do your job!
It’s either the older I get or the more times I fly, but whatever it is, I’m getting more and more apprehensive about flying. I don’t have a fear of flying, but it never used to bother me as a kid. I loved it. Now, though, I’m listening to every sound, feeling every bump and if I get a seat near the wings, all I do is study the undercarriage, the flaps, the bolts on the...

That scene defines the entire Terminator series in my mind.
Kerrang!'s review of Faith No More's set at...
“…most are here to see Faith No More, whose singer, MIke Patton, looks like he’s having the time of his life. An opening cover of Peaches & Herb’s Reunited sets the tone for a set that’s both humourous, leftfield and, hence, brilliant. Even a band for who the unexpected can be expected, tonight in a drunken field, they are an absolute delight. Welcome back,...
