:: Out of Spite, Out of Mind ::

:: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 ::

So I decided to isolate myself for the weekend- just lock myself up and try and come up with something...anything... dive down deep and mine the dark, rich caverns of creativity within.

3 days I had to do this and I came up with
Nothing.

I did, however manage to rediscover chips ahoy/watch Joseph Campbell posthumously discuss mythology on PBS/watch the DVD of Spinal Tap w.commentary/ re-string my guitar (lighter strings=playability)/ have a torturous nightmare of trying to extinguish a fire/ re-discover the genius of Motown bassist James Jamerson/ Finally listen to Randy Newman and understand why he's considered one of America's best songwriters...

Check this shit out-

From the album "Sail Away":

Political Science

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now
