yeah that's basically what T said in that interview from last night
although one could substitute "drunken" with "crack smokin'"
(after all they bring it all in anyway)
Thurston commented that Revelations was "insane" & an attempt to "settle the score".
I wrote that song...I guess it was at a time when I was just really sort of amazed that there was so much policy being driven by officials who were basing it on...ah, this belief in rapture, this kind of...insane you know, Revelations...
which is very similar to what I wrote before about how John of Patmos crafted it as some sort of big payoff revenge fantasy. Yeah, great minds think alike. Ultimately, according to the aesthetics of good art, the song is open-ended. This is one of the reasons why it's "rapture" & not "
the Rapture".
When I first heard they were changing the album title from "Sonic Life" to "Do You Believe in Rapture?" I pictured one of those fundamentalist church tracts as the cover. That would have been great. The "Rather Ripped" cover kind of looks like Art Brut, so I like it though.
anyone hear about 2 of the highest ranking Homeland Security officials?
one was busted for child pornography on his computer & one was arrested in a Miami (i believe) shopping mall for exposing himself to a 14-year old girl.
I don't know about you, but it all sounds like some blasted-out, geeked-up antics to me. Remember Bill O'Reilly's unsolicited phone sex thing with his assistant? Same damn thing.
I mean, talk about your
hypocrites...
