Faith No More: Dusted In A Zone Of Their Own
Christine Natanael, Livewire, September 1992
ONE EVENING, as I sat in a friend's living room eating Chinese food, watching cable comedy shows and feeling my deadline time approach, I began pondering – pondering the big things in life, that is, like, why is it that any fortune cookie fortune is inherently more funny when you add the words "in bed" to the end of it, and whether or not there were any philosophical and true prophetic meanings underlying the fact that Faith No More's guitarist, Jim Martin, was chosen as one of the major music figures to time-travel into the future to address music students in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey... The latter weighed on my mind as I listened to the new album Angel Dust.
