Reminds me of Steven Tyler reacting to Spinal Tap: Tyler expounded on his reaction in a rare Library of Congress interview made public back in 2012. "That movie bummed me out," he said, "because I thought, 'How dare they

I don't know man, the human body is an incredible machine... I think it's more six of one, half dozen of the other. The one truth you can count on is: there's gonna be tradeoffs.
