Pretty Fly for an Asswipe

The album liner note is a lost art. Hardly anyone writes them anymore, instead they’ve been replaced with volumes of lyrics, endless thank yous, and full color fold-out posters.

Pretty fly for an asswipe!)

Dexter Holland is the singer for The Offspring and the owner of Nitro Records. He is also a pilot. Here is the aforementioned jet, the first in the Anarchy Airlines fleet:
