Something about watching George Bush address the nation made you think of a black snake in the bed? It just seemed like there was some trickery going on. I read this to my mom a little while ago--she went on this morning into one of her near daily tirades about Republicans--she may be 72, but she gets mad as a hornet--perhaps I just fuel the fire, but I enjoy watching my mom's passionate dislike and sometimes illogical hatred of Republicans--who in her mind are the mythical monsters of political cartoons--Rush Limbaugh eating babies, George W with three sixes on his head.... - --Mark, who doesn't have a clue what to do regarding the Laurie Anderson pic. I'm just going to write the record company and tell them my intentions (btw, it's an image of Anderson in that '82 time period walking down an empty street wearing a man's shirt and tie and carrying a breifcase with the WTC looming in the background) - -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hamlin To: the sort of thing most people never give a second thought Sent: Wed, Jun 2, 2010 2:49 pm Subject: [loud-fans] Swami sees one Loudfan running down to the bookstore for a copy... http://www.salon.com/books/memoirs/index.html?story=/books/int/2010/06/02/bel inda_carlisle_lips_unsealed Wait a minute, she's knocking new music--make that two Loudfans. Me, I'm holding out for Rick Springfield's tell-all... Andy Something about that "Snake in the Bed" song sounds like the snake in question was more literal than metaphorical. It's actually 100 percent true. I was at Georgia Southern [University]; I was sick, I was sleeping downstairs on a foldout couch-bed and I thought I would catch up on some schoolwork. I had my backpack sitting by the sliding glass doors in our little condo and I went and dumped my whole backpack out on my bed. I was laying back, sorting through folders, and this little black thing went wiggling down my leg. I completely freaked out and ran and got the neighbor. He was a big old strapping country boy and he was such a wimp about it. We both ended up taking the sheet out and shaking it out. But I actually wrote the song after watching Bush's State of the Union address in 2005 or 2006. It's somehow metaphorical; I don't quite understand it myself. Something about watching George Bush address the nation made you think of a black snake in the bed? It just seemed like there was some trickery going on.
