Good bye, Mr. Rodgers

Granola...
Was listening to Dynamite Hack on the way into work this morning, and I just can't resist posting the lyrics to their song "Granola," which could easily become my anthem.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the band, they're the goofs who covered "Boyz in the Hood". I find the entire album worth listening to.

guys like you are always so entertaining
"i can't help myself ", she said
"i'm crazy for that smile"
then she'll drag me down
with her friends to their demonstrations
well i have to share my girl with her cult life
don't call me apethetic
'cuz i don't believe the hype
cuz it's people who believe in things
that are always taking lives

and it's ok that you want to take some
time away from me
it's all about karma, alien invasions,
chakras and crystals and reincarnation
just let me leave the left behind

guys like you are always so entertaining
"we're just good friends" she says
"he's so deep and involved"
but me? well she drags me down,
never ever lets me out
well i've seen all i care to hear
of what with me is wrong
man your soul is rotten,
but your teeth are pearly white
everything that comes from you is a fake
or a lie

and it's ok that you want to take some time away from me
it's all about karma, alien invasions,
chakras and crystals and reincarnation
just let me leave the left behind
let's go

and it's ok that you want to take some time away from me
it's all about karma, alien invasions,
chakras and crystals and reincarnation
just let me leave the left behind
left behind..cha cha cha

If you've gotta have political music, I'll listen to this over rants about freeing cop-killers any day.

Getting a little hectic here...
That would be work, and my personal life, which are combining to make it exceedingly hard for me to post regularly.
Apologies to anyone who has sent me an email, and hasn't received a response.
Just as soon as I've got the job back under control, and the laundry done, I'll be back.

In the meantime, for the serious-minded, I suggest you swing on over to Winds of Change for thoughtful and timely commentary.

If you're in a lighter frame of mind, I'd suggest ScrappleFace: New Fairly Unbalanced. We Report. You Decipher" for some of the sharpest satire I've seen in ages.
