Parents with daughters...which of these two would scare you more?
Ladies...which of these two would you rather date (you don't have to answer out loud)?
Fellas...which would rather run rough shod with?
or
"E-lectrical" banana...really Don?
Scream therapy with John Lennon or a Lo'siana Hayride?
Would you rather blow a rig of dope with this gypsy
Or spend the night playin spades at Snake Creek Grocery listenin' to a grown man play the g'itar?
Just askin'.
Finally a blog post I can get behind! Just needs more pictures of your little lad to make it perfect.
ReplyDeleteThere will never be enough hippie hate in the world!
"Hippies... they wanna change the world, but all they do is smell bad and sit around smoking pot" E.T. Cartman
Also, I love that there is an "Adam hating on the Fall" category :D
I wasn't just sittin around thinkin' how hippies have made the world a worse place to live...though I do do that sometimes...there is context.
ReplyDeleteMy Daddy's up and me and him were talkin' about the Boy's obsession with Bo Diddley. Daddy was tellin' me about the lengths he had to go to find radio programs like Randy's Record Shop...how he knew about Chuck Berry before he ever showed up on TV...just what it was like to be into RockNRoll and Soul music in the 50's...but, not in a Dig-My-Life kinda way that the Baby Boomers can't help adopting.
We were just smokin' and talkin.
Oh don't get me wrong, the context is nice, I appreciate it, but the main thing there is the hating hippies... thats your meat right there, that what we wanna hear!
ReplyDeletedoh, that submitted too early, was gonna add that Jerry Lee Lewis might have been a bad example and all... lotta wives, bit young on one or two if em... as much as an ass Donavan might be, least its just drugs and being a tool.
ReplyDeleteYeah I skim read, sorry, I got you back to front there. I had you (understandably) down as saying the hippies were the amoral assholes you you wouldn't want your kids near (lennon true!). Johnny Cash and Bo Diddly are alright guys though... chuck berry less so, lol!
ReplyDeleteSo wait... this post is 'technically' pro-hippie really... dude! I take it back!
You have to forgive any flakiness today, I have had 3 days of barely any sleep, so much so I picked the caffetiere up by the plunger this morning... that took some cleaning up
Get some sleep.
ReplyDelete3rd time lucky with this damn comment system!
ReplyDeleteDude, I got you second time round, but you shoudl know by now If I can mark you for a wind up I will.
what my beliefs have to do with anything I dunno, but you know full well I also believe in morality as an expression of love too, its only the source, and thus how you define Real that there is a problem with.
I was just pointing out that you were commenting on it from a strict moral perspective...the right one ultimately.
ReplyDeleteTruthfully there is some glorification of Jerry Lee Lewis not just as musician, but as a character...as a person going on here. It can't be denied. In a real sense I'm in the wrong on that.
bit disturbing to think the crucible of rock and roll was mostly peados and such... no wonder its been scorned on so long!
ReplyDeletePedophile might be a little strong...they did stay married for 13 years. I'm also pretty sure that he wasn't the only fella back then, in these parts, that married a teenager.
ReplyDeleteNot sayin' it was right...just that he isn't Gary Glitter or anything.
Never been scorned like it was in the begining. Ever once in a while you'll see these old clips of people outraged by the music. "N------ music, the Devils Music...Howlin Wolf went to his grave heartbroken because his Momma refused to talk to him for bein' an agent of the devil. It's often meant to ridicule these old geezers, but in a very real sense they were right...it did change the world they lived in drastically...some of it good some of it not, but the point is these were not silly people. These were people who understood the power of art...especially when it came to music.
How could they not...considering the charasmatic religious traditions that most of them came out of. Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard...that's all Church stuff. Some of these Churches were rocknroll before anybody other than dock workers had heard the term.
You know what it does to poeple on Sunday...and now it's bein' played on Saturday night, for a Saturday night audience. People in the South have never needed a lot of encouragement to cut loose...of course they got in a tizzy.
Thanks to this post I watched Walk the Line (again) today. Never say your blog didn't impact peoples lives.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasant surprise.
ReplyDeleteWe here at Flimsy Cups like to rib your husband for not posting, but we'd rather hear from you anyway.
Glad to know where helping to make the world a better place to sit in front of the TV.
Should be glad to know we're...arrrgh.
ReplyDeleteI'll be hearin' about that one.
