It reached the 60th spot on the LAUNCH Music Videos Top 100. The album has six announced pre-released versions with different CD covers and several tracks not included in the final list.

Famous quotes containing the words paid, tha, cost and/or boss:

    “People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “Sekts and creeds ov religion, are like pocket compesses, good enuff tu pinte out the direction, but the nearer the pole yu git the wuss tha wurk.”
    —Josh Billings [Henry Wheeler Shaw] (1818–1885)

    “History is strewn with the wrecks of nations which have gained a little progressiveness at the cost of a great deal of hard manliness, and have thus prepared themselves for destruction as soon as the the movements of the world gave a chance for it.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “I have given my pain a name and call it “dog”Mit is every bit as faithful, every bit as nosey and shameless, every bit as entertaining, every bit as clever as any other dog—and I can boss it around and vent my bad moods on it, just as others do with their dogs, servants, and wives.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
