Three Things

For anyone with the sanity not to read my last verbosity, three groups of things I know:

1) Ly may feel, and I wouldn't want to be the one to disagree, that Cake is the frat boy version of They Might Be Giants, but consider this: I Will Survive by a boy was something that could only have been released in the '90s, when being a scorned boy was borderline cool, and the decision to do so illustrates a keen understanding of gender politics in "art." Because, consider this - how much differently would you read The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia if narrated by a man. "See, little sister don't miss when she aims her gun" has a different ring when it is a dude killing the cheating wife of his bro. Uglier, and less righteous, no?

2) Regardless of certain people's resistance to any form of anthromorphizication (it is like philosophizing, but about God) - The universe has a reason for everything that happens. Rarely is that reason to fuck you over.

3) An analogy of sorts. Ketchup is for hamburgers, mustard is for hot dogs, and NEVER the twain should meet. Much as Jameson's is ordered neat, Crowne Royal on the rocks, and Bushmills never at a Catholic bar. It is the Law of Condiments and Whiskey. Wisdom by another name.

Good night and good luck - may you still be drunk when the sun rises.
