Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'


Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Wanted to add Green Day's "American Idiot," but they're also from the USA.

John Lennon wrote and recorded a lot of anti-war songs when the USA was involved in the Vietnam War, but there isn't a lot of criticism of the USA as such in them. Though maybe the Beatles as a group make the list with "Get Back"?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Robyn Hitchcock - "America" [link] (abstractly negative?)

I was kinda' wondering that.

These suggestions sound good - I'll check them out when I get home....

Because books.

What about Bowie's "Young Americans"?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

That's just an awesome all around song right there!

Yeah, I love that song. Now I need to see if it's on my computer.
