Love was a great band-but the cover versions of their stuff are great as well

I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

Would you rather learn from Steve or Rif? Plus how many RKCs actually live in their cars and bathe in streams and shit?
