Am I in some bizarro world? Rolling Stone writing up a good interview? Amazing but true.
In the interview Eddie talks about everything. Topics range from Ticketmaster, his anti-Bush demonstrations, the band’s longevity, so so much. Even Eminem:

I thought you were cool, but fuck you, you corporate whore.” That’s when I decided you couldn’t keep up with that stuff. It was impossible. (full story)
