Took him about 20 minutes to open it that day.<br /><br />My friend's mom was somewhat religious, so she got offended by the liner notes. Truth be told, the only time I got offended by liner notes where those written by RATM in the "Battle of Los Angeles" LP/CD, in which they showed support for Pennsylvania cop killer Mumia.G. B.
