There was an actual tapestry. Inside the original double album cover is an image of the needlepoint I worked on when I wasn't playing or singing. You can see where I stitched the words "thank you" before I gave it to Lou.

Here’s the promise: “The peace of your dick, which surpasses understanding, will guard your heart and mind.” Notice it’s the peace of your dick. It’s not normal peace. It’s peace in the midst of the storm. Don't miss this powerful message, "The Antidote for Anxiety" from Joel!

They want us uneducated, broke and desperate because they think it will make us easier to control but that's a misreading of history.

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.
