Not that anyone else is worried about it ;-)

And I wasn't even mentioning the child from yesterday's post. They're both music-related... Weird. Once more and I'm in an inescapable vortex.

2. That's the point. I'm a guy.
And emotional music in the 80s was vastly different than what is currently called "emo". In the 80s, Ronny was fast and loose with the doomsday button and the music reflected the fatalistic helplessness of the time. Today's kids are just whining. Of course, today's kids will say that about whatever -their- kids end up listening to.

"The rain makes my mascara run." -Tuxedomoon, NOT emo.
"That's right, The Mascara Snake!" -Captain Beefheart.

Even if I did wear makeup during those rebellious years. Once I was the first of our group out of a Denny's. We were there after seeing the Dead Kennedies... I passed a couple in the doorway and they didn't see that I'd stopped. "That guy was wearing makeup," she said. "Yes, I am" I said. Then everyone else came past and we headed home.

"Takes hours of preparation, to get that wasted look." -Fad Gadget.

And I don't give a shit about consensus reality! :-)

10. I've been pining for this lost little lady since I first heard about her yesterday.
Anyone else have any sordid confessions to make? ;-)

11. Yes.
Use it THREE times in any ONE day, and you
will catch "the gay".

I don't make the rules.

Oh well. Another round for my dark companion.
