Random Thoughts During Commute...
Categories: Imported
I have a fairly long commute to the day job, so my mind wanders a lot. Is it me, or has Michael Stipe's songwriting gone downhill? It's to the point where, if you had the time and programming know-how, you could build a Michael Stipe Song Generator. Just throw a bunch of clichés together, then toss in a chorus built of one dark phrase and something that makes absolutely no sense. To wit:
Hail to the queen
Bases loaded, no one out
How the elephant
Got in my pajamas
I'll never know
Chorus:
We're all gonna die
Please don't make me waffles
Just slap his name on it now, and have Mike Mills and Peter Buck play a bunch of minor chords in the background. Instant hit.
