For anyone keeping track I think I may have assumed my final form.

Really kind of crazy that one of North Carolina's chief imports for the last few years is English majors fronting bands that sound like Son Volt. Not that I'm complaining.

The Departed is that rare thing: a movie as great as it is dumb. I've probably only seen it from beginning to end maybe four times but I find myself thinking about it with the longing one has for a lover thirty years in the grave.

Some time ago I had a dream where a group of people were singing a song called "Jesus is America's Top Cop," which is a better song than this youtu.be/JdXdQsP2_9M?...

It sometimes feels silly, as an adult, to talk about art and its ability to affect change. That's probably a failure on my side of things rather than on art's. But I remember being sixteen or so & having my outlook on the death penalty forever being changed by this song youtu.be/6Tc700Yi8KQ?...

In the old days every alt-country act was either the most pious, Carter Family-ass depressive stuff or a group called, like, The Barbecue Chicken Pluckers who had albums called Corn Likker & Jesus

Exactly. His brand of evil isn't unique; the transparency of it is.

It's very funny living in Louisiana but running with the more bohemian types and as soon as the temp drops below 70 watching everybody put on their Wes Anderson clothes.

On Linda Ronstadt's version of Carmelita, she changes "Smith-Corona" to "Smith & Wesson," which GG Allin also does on his version, indicating he's covering her rather than Zevon.

Yes, exactly. (Now I'm looking over the wiki for the Trio channel and getting all misty eyed for other important youthful discoveries)

I have a real intense nostalgia for better or worse for this era of cheap indie cinema, where it's grainy as hell and the camera barely moves. Watched a lot of this stuff on the Independent Film Channel in the mid 90s. For as impactful as it was, most of that stuff is a blur to me now.

Swung by a friend's grave this afternoon. I'm 100% sure his is the only stone in that cemetery with a William S Burroughs quotation, and fairly confident the only one in the parish. Little victories.
