May. 13th, 2008 08:26 pmIt seems a little too soon to be hearing music from my childhood on "classic rock" stations. Is Billy Idol already so old? Then again, I suppose he might be, given that he's blown all his money and now drives a double decker bus. Was it always this way? I thought one's childhood music didn't hit classic rock stations until 40-50, I'm almost 30, but I've been hearing some of my favorites on stations of this nature for over five years. Murr. I suppose it's every generation's question.
I used to have a song running through my head:
Well it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me I don't give a fuck,
Next stop is old Iraq
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up your oily gates
Ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die
More recently it it goes, "Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next time we'll nuke Iran ..." It's not a new observation, but I've never voiced before how very much the old songs of the Vietname era work well (often without conversion) to the current age. Someone on my flist posted a link to a music video I'd long since forgotten from the 80's: Van Halen's "Right Now", which is still, quite sadly, relevant. Yes, I cried when I watched it to realize how accurate it continues to be.
Preventing Doctor Who fans from knitting Daleks seems rather extreme. Why not slap a suit on every Darth Vader or Klingon (Tlingon?) at a sci-fi convention? BBC is certainly choosing the wrong time to take a page from American TV networks.
Of course, the Brits at the BBC might have been dining on too much grey squirrel meat, which somehow tastes like something between duck and lamb. How is that low in fat?
And damnit,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
samblackmire, now I want Koi Boots, but I can't seem to find them for purchase, and even if I could, I doubt I could afford them ($60)! Do they even carry a 10W?
