Kind of like your reply to my rant. Well it's good that you recognize that about yourself. Oops - transposed the "my" and "your" in your last sentence. Anyway, after that snarky remark: an outside observer who just sub'd to the list might be forgiven for thinking you two are best buds who put on this joke-filled hair-pulling competition periodically. I choose to believe this is true: in fact, I'm pretty sure you two were on the phone earlier this afternoon blushingly giggling over your respective cleverness. Maybe.

Look, look, look: no need to go cutting off anyone's Funk & Wagnall's. Just do like those grave philosophers of LA do, and stuff it into an athletic sock. Along with sufficient padding to prevent the sock from falling off. Seriously: the Chili Peppers are monumentally stupid. I was in a karaoke bar, and someone chose to do "Californication," which meant the lyrics were projected on monitors for all to see.

It's actually all just Navajo cribbed from old westerns, and they're saying shit like "John Wayne had a very small penis" and "I abominated Ronald Reagan's corpse." Next on my hit list: Wilkes Barre!

The Chili Peppers are the kind of thing for which the word "problematic" was invented. They're closely associated with a lot of music and musicians that I love, or at least respect, but where their own music is concerned, the 'tard factor keeps pegging higher and higher on the cringe-ometer yearly (in inverse proportion to how seriously they take themselves, how seriously they are taken by others, and how much they have (kind of legitimately) suffered for their art). I mean, they were harmlessly fun back when they were junkies. I don't like that correlation, but there it is: I liked "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" in its day, and my Freshman year at college was certainly enriched by that cassette tape my roommate had with "Mother's Milk" on one side and "Axis: Bold As Love" on the other (or in any case a lot of papers wouldn't have gotten written without it). But just about everything after that has grated on me to the point where every time they release something new, I've kinda forgotten that they've gone on to get bigger, and bigger, and BIGGER during the many years since I stopped paying attention to them. Sometimes I feel like I should have a copy of "Mother's Milk" or at least download some of their '80's singles, but usually when that happens I'm pretty happy to throw on "Axis: Bold As Love" instead. It's not really necessary for me to list fifty or sixty LA rock albums which are better than anything by the Chili Peppers, is it? - -SER ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 17:08:30 -0700 (PDT) From: Jeff Dwarf Subject: Re: Random film geekery The Great Quail wrote: > I have not seen "Brokeback Mountain," I finally saw it this weekend, and it's a fine 90 minutes of movie crammed into 135 minutes.

Wilkes Barre is hardly, oh, let's say Meridian, Idaho. If nothing else it's known for being pronounced "wilkes berry." Plus it's home to the Phillies AAA team (along with Scranton), so there's that.
