* - Lennon got the title from an article in the May 1968 issue of "American Rifleman", the magazine of the NRA. Lennon - "I just thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means you just shot something." The magazine had adapted the headline from the title of a bestseller by 'Peanuts' cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, "Happiness is a Warm Puppy" // **- Albini had a policy of never doing more than two takes of each song. This led to confrontations with Tanya Donelly - "For all the fights we had with him in the studio, for all the times I'd stomp upstairs in my pajamas screaming that I couldn't live with such-and-such a guitar part, the next morning I realized he was usually right."
