Wow. Great sounds! It seems you can always find what you are looking for at Plan-9. I was there a couple, three months ago with my friend who was seeking out (and finding) some Underground Country stuff the radio stations refuse to play and the giant music stores refuse to sell. (See Landru's post above.) My friend had on his Hank Williams T-shirt. I was amazed when the unwashed VCU-type, purple-haired kid with the 15 head piercings looked at my friend's shirt and his CD selections and said "Hank Williams...Kewl!! Wayne Hancock...Kewl!! BR5-49...Kewl!!" At least there are some in the 20-something culture who will not accept what is being forcefed them.
BWWWWWAHAAAA!!!
The Gospel's truth.
Even funnier is the fact the garbage we've just railed about above that's *not* making any dough?
Are the inspiration for a kid going out & paying someone to mutilate 'em.
I mean, now that is funny!
A perversion of the, Redistribution of Wealth scheme; to be sure. ;^)
NOW I know how my old man felt when I showed-up one day with a poka-dot shirt, bell-bottomed pants, Cuban-heeled shoes & hair down my back.
The poor man was stunned into silence.
Not an easy thing to achieve; if ya ever knew my old man. {g}
"...and said 'Hank Williams...Kewl!! Wayne Hancock...Kewl!! BR5-49...Kewl!!' At least there are some in the 20-something culture who will not accept what is being forcefed them."
Well maybe so; but there're other possibilities here, too.
First one & most obvious, "Kewl" was the only word the little genius knew.
I mean; public school educated & all that implies.
Or...
This kid actually thought himself the main character from, "Wayne's World"?
Yea, Wayne; worthy of emulation ~oh geshhhhh.
Both scenarios extrmely possible; valid explainations. :o)
...I've wanted to ask adults who say, "Kewl" to me if they're, "Wayne" so damned bad many times!
