and whats up with... ?!?

...apologies to coco.... ;)

have you noticed how songs these days*... (sign of the times? is that what old men* are going to say in the 21st century? "Why these songs today... why I oughtta.... mumble mumble....zzzzzzz......zzzzzz..... )

so, have you noticed how songs these days... you know they do that old trick in the middle of the song... like, okay, let's take a little break, keep the rhythm going... but, I'm going to make a phone call... ring ring...

in the old days when the band/musician/songwriter/producer/engineer/wacked out chick high on reds half awake on the couch would do the old "makin a phone call!" in the middle of the song... the line would ring... ring... and somebody would answer... or if you were in a Pink Floyd song, they wouldn't answer, or they'd hang up on you, or you'd get the operator wondering where you'd gone off too...

but in the new days, when these DJ's and hip-hoppists and electronic musicians and pop stars acting like musicians but their songs are written and produced by the money hungry big corporate record labels that you keep feeding from your wallet make a phone call, it rings and rings... and you get a damn answering machine. you *always* get an answering machine. "yo dog, call me back dog."

as if you didn't feel stupid enough rambling on to a fucking machine while no one or everyone listens, your retarded "status update" monologue could be fodder for the general listening populace... but like the clapper, or Velcro, you were late to the party.

also, i'm watching the Robot Chicken Star Wars episode, and the "Chewie combing his hair like Fonzie" gag is my favorite I think. damn fine showing there.

*sign of the times means that when you search "old men" on google images the fourth and seventh photos returned from the search are hard core porn.

incidentally, did you know the closed captioned subtitles for chewbacca have him saying nothing more than "gah" ? it's true.
