the dildo was in the drawer of a nightstand beside the bed. theres a nightstand on each side of the bed, one side has the dildo and the other side has some sort of religious object (a bible, cross, statue, or something else). but thats just the obvious literal meaning. what he was really trying to get acrossed was that theyre hypocrites. on one side (the side the world sees, the jesus side) they are pure god fearing people who avoid sin but on the other side (behind closed doors, the dildo side) they are just as 'deviant' if not more so than the rest of us. |

Im disappointed that everyone seems to be thinkly so small. They're not just angry at the punk scene, or the music scene, It's much more than that. They're angry at our entire generation. They hoped that we would do more than our parents before us, that we would take it beyond the festivals, which really are nothing more than an excuse to party and have someone else's agenda shoved in your face("I like to party fucking hard. I like my rock and roll the same. Don't give a fuck if I burn out."),("the straw-men you build up to burn"-Burning Man,"rock-bands selling shoes for venture-capitalists- Van's Warped Tour).They had the desire to rebel, the anger at the system, but it wasn't real, they just like the way MTV packaged and sold the scene, when it came time to "spit on their hands, hoist the black flag, and start slitting throats", (H.L. Mencken)they didn't have it in them.("like-father, like-son "rebels bloated on korn, eminems and bizkits") They liked they idea of political dissent, and fighting against the machine that imprisons them until it actually took effort and risks.("take back your Amy Grant mosh-crews and your fair-weather politics") They listen to the 'rebellious' music and feel like they're actually doing something to change things, like they're somehow fighting the system without leaving their nice suburban home and their bright little offices.("a buying public who live vicariously through tortured-artist college-rock and floor-punching macho pabulum.") So here we are years later and the scene has become nothing more than kids wearing the 'punk uniform' with their colored hair, piercings,patches, pins, Hot Topic gear, all ironically in a desire to be "different" and go against what the general public thinks they should be when they actually just look like carbon-copies of their friends, with no real drive to change things, they just throw their fists up at the shows and sing along with lyrics they don't actually understand or believe in enough to fight for ("it still reeks of Swill and Chickenshit Conformists with their fists in the air") |
