While we're on the subject of meta, I think I'll write a journal entry about some mail I got about journal entries. A while back, I wrote about Fox Color and Light, and how these little electronic trinkets were being sold for outrageous prices. Well, Mr. Fox wrote me and explained that everything is hand made, and out of quality parts, etc. So that's why they cost a lot. Also, if any of you out there still want twinkies with lights on them, I'm still selling. | |

Not that bumper stickers are high on anyone's status symbol wish list. Actual Real Popular Culture seems like it must be a joke. It MUST be. It's like Beavis & Butthead. A bunch of people laughing at it, and a meta-group laughing at the REAL joke. B&B are now symbol and idol of the very people it appeared to be parodying at first. I guess, maybe they're different now. I didn't see the movie and I don't get cable. (I had cable when I lived in my mother's house, though. It just doesn't seem like something very fun or useful to buy.) Anyway, I was talking about culture being like Beavis and Butt-head. The other day on the bus Ed and I were sitting in the midst of some cultured youth. We eventually started talking, and somehow the subject of Hawaii's music scene came up. Ed mentioned how punk had caught on there and become very trendy. This set off an interesting reaction amongst the apparent pnuks. "I don't think punk is a trend," went the refrain. They said it a little too quickly. I guess if I were sitting with a bunch of my close friends, all of us wearing, oh, Faith No More shirts, and someone name Chad Galisa said "Faith No More is a bunch of fags", I would react. I'd laugh at him, on that hypothetical night in 1993, April 9th, it could be. I can't identify with the people around me. | |

So hopefully by the time anyone clicks on THIS... I'll have it set up. Hmm. It works, but you need RealAudio Player 3.0. RA 2 doesn't do HTTP streams. So, if you wanna hear it, and you don't have RA3, Goto RealAudio HQ. |
