I'ma G'na Blow Ya Mindthoughts

Wow. Before there was even MTV, I think.

It brings back memories of lusting after 13-year-old girls at the roller-rink, not having no idea what I'd do with them if I ever had the chance but also knowing, somehow, it would be the greatest thing in the world just to touch their pretty hair...

Brings me back all the way to, well, June, I guess. Good times. Immigration fight by day, pedostalking the roller-rink at night. Just a mischievous scamp out past his curfew, lurking menacingly in the parking lot shadows, with a heart open to love and a rag full of ether.

God damn that Chris Hansen is a dick.

Okay... Since I just dropped a joke that's going to be picked up as some sort of confession (and just might piss off some readers, too), which, to make matters worse, is a pretty fucking hack joke actually and not at all worth it, might as well kill two birds with one stone and get this problem out of the way, too.

steve_in_hb sent me this. It's funny. Not super funny, but kinda funny.

I haven't linked it since I got it because first, it's a little mysogynist in the beginning, and then, see, at the end, he figures he has to turn it up to 11 for the big finish and winds up blowing right past "outrageous comedy" and right into "a disquieting depiction of date-rape."

steve and I share a sometimes dark sense of humor. I wrote back saying, "Uhh... gee, I don't know about that ending," and he wrote back, "The potential raping of an unconscious woman makes you squirm after the comedy (bitter comedy) of the first 95% of the song. Seems like he definitely needed someone to tell him -- 'That doesn’t work dude, you should cut it out.'"

So, um, content warning. Like, when two dudes who pride themselves on being very dark and cynical are saying "Too far, too far," you've got a problem.

Okay, that preamble and content warning out of the way, the first 95% of the song is amusing enough. Maybe this will spur the singer-songwriter into producing a cut of the song that doesn't include this whole rape-craze all the kids are into these days.
