Yeah, that has always been my favorite line of any song, too. I love how he can make mundane, boring things like "comma" just sound so frickin' cool!! :) Yes, I also miss S.C. I think Doughty still writes well on his own, but some of the luster is gone without the sparse bass and crisp percussions thrown on top. |

| that would explain all the applesauce & crotch references on this site. Something subconscious going on here, I suspect... | |

Good analysis! While this is tangential, I disagree with the claim about the "preppy love interest" in Say Anything. In fact, I think his love interest was probably the most earnest person in the movie, and I typically don't think of preppy people as being earnest. She genuinely likes school & being smart, admits to this, and openly enjoys helping people out. Not really a preppy tag line. Boring, perhaps, but not preppy... |

Hmmm... this is a bit of a stretch. You cannot really take "each to each" as a quote to place against the bible. It's too general. I think most of these quotes you chose fall into that category: "This bitter drink" -- he's specifically talking about coffee (it is, after all, called "Busting up a Starbucks"). But just about any drug, including alcohol & coffee, is bitter. "The sky's ablaze, the see is too, THE WATER'S RED & the flame is blue" -- this is merely a hyperbole of environmentalist terrorists' claims. (For disclosure, I agree we need to address global warming desperately, but not through property destruction.) "It will always be the end of time THE END OF LAW" -- here he's merely claiming there will always be anarchists & others who claim that civilization has pushed itself beyond the brink, and all human civilization is about to implode... and he says to them, "get a grip". |
