Short and Sweet...

My life has become so insipid that I just don't care about what I'm writing anymore...

Not really...but this College Basketball Preview I'm doing is taking forever because ranked teams keep losing to the women's team from Billy Bob's School for the Blind...so you get a short one today.

Quick Points...

A) Skaw registered the website http://www.pleasekillyourself.net/. (I think it is funny.)

B) I'm presently parked next to a Cadillac El Dorado (app 1992) with spinning 22s and on the side-panel where it normally says "SS" it reads "22"".
Oh--and there is a giant CORONA logo across the back window...

Lyrical Analysis

Why is Classic Rock the one genre that you're publically outcast for disliking? I mean--I generally like it, but some of it is just annoying. Despite that, your manhood is in question if you don't own the greatest hits of Tom Petty, Steve Miller, and Led Zeppelin.
Okay fine--some of that stuff is desirable---but Steve Miller sucks. I mean SU-UCKS. Steve Miller is so bad that Warren G listens to him before their concerts to build confidence in his lyrics.

Overlooked in this obsession is a band that ACTUALLY MADE GOOD MUSIC (that being Creedance Clearwater Survival). Sure--you know a few of their songs, but "Lookin' Out My Backdoor" and "Bad Moon Rising" don't do justice to the completely ridiculous lyrics that these southern rockers hopped up on goofballs came up with...

Here is an example:

Hey Tonight
By Creedance Clearwater Revival

Hey, tonight,
Gonna be tonight,
Dont you know Im flyin
Tonight, tonight. (Okay--so we've established that something is happening tonight--and that they're really excited about it.)

Hey, cmon,
Gonna chase tomorrow
Tonight, tonight. (Okay--you can't really "chase" tomorrow. I've tried...it runs away.) (And we still don't know what the crap is happening tonight...)

Gonna get it to the rafters,
Watch me now. (Get what to the rafters? The feather-duster?)
Jodys gonna get religion
All night long. (First off--the person who wrote these lyrics has never used an apostrophe...and second, I'm pretty sure that Jody is getting baptized tonight...which is exciting.)

Hey, cmon,
Gonna hear the sun
Tonight, tonight. (So we're not going to a baptism...we're going to LISTEN TO THE SUN??? Dude--I don't know if you're getting better oxycotin than me, but I'm pointing my ears to the sun and I can't hear a damn thing...)

Gonna get it to the rafters,
Watch me now.
Jodys gonna get religion
All night long. (What a minute...how are we going to listen to the sun at night? Is that the secret? Is the noisy sun nocturnal?)

Aaaah! (Easily the best lyric of the song.) (And the only one that makes a LICK of sense...)
Hey, tonight,
Gonna be tonight,
Dont you know Im flyin
Tonight, tonight.
Tonight, tonight.

(I'm still confused...but I'm pretty certain that tonight is going to absolutely KICK ASS.)
