"In some black communities there’s still a stigma that kinky or coarse hair is “bad”, which couldn’t be further from the truth. There’s no such thing as good or bad when describing someone’s natural hair texture or type. To those struggling to love and accept their natural hair because of societal pressures, remember this - straight, curly, kinky or wavy, it doesn’t make a difference. Embrace your hair the way it is, no matter what society tells you. 

All hair is good hair. It’s your Crown." Inspired by the amazing work of Gerrel Saunders.

Starting off with their 1998’s self titled album. The album kicks off with Regular John, a song about calling a hooker for some action. Seems that the number in the lyrics is a real number, but Josh Homme added an extra one, so people wouldn’t keep calling.

I think Josh Homme said this song was "about fucking", but says so about so many songs, haha Like other Queen of the Stone Age tracks, this one is filled with sexual connotations and nice little observations about trust and getting even. 

Track 2 of my Rated R series.

The closer track from QOTSA's Rated R is an epic 8 minute travesty that mostly focuses on paranoia over a tense atmosphere. The song slowly dies over an unusual 15/8 time signature that drifts on for a while closing this album wonderfully. .

‘Better Living Through Chemistry’ was the slogan for a chemical company called DuPont until 1982. My idea comes from the blue pill from those Matrix films. The blue pill could symbolize blissful ignorance, which makes the opens your eyes line from the song quite ironic. Track 5 of my Queens of the Stone Age’s Rated R series!

Tension Head is one of those QOTSA tracks that focuses on the abuse of drugs and how they control you. This one focuses on the difficulty of sobriety.
