End Times. Indeed.

As one of my friends described it...."the feral voices of centuries of cigarette and booze destruction. A mighty force indeed."

Despite my warnings below, I listened.  (As Hunter Thompson used to say, "After all, I am a Professional.")  It reminded me of this movie exchange:

Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

Have at it.  But remember, when all life as we know it stops instantaneously, its on you.  Not me.
