(TOOL - maynard james keenen, 1996) 060503 ... bsc keenan 060503 ... 6sy TOOL's Arizona_Bay: Arizona_Bay is an album by comedian Bill Hicks, posthumously released in 1997 through Rykodisc. It was released alongside Rant in E-Minor, marking three years since his death. The album's title refers to the hope that Los Angeles will one day fall into the ocean due to a major earthquake. Hicks, perhaps in jest, contends that the world will be better off in L.A.'s absence: “ Ahhh, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone...All the shitty shows are gone, all the idiots screaming in the fucking wind are dead, I love it...leaving nothing but a cool, beautiful serenity called Arizona Bay. That's right, when L.A. falls in the fucking ocean and is flushed away, all it will leave is Arizona Bay." 081122 ... In_Bloom Learn to swim All right But why not swim upstream To a softer bay?
