| Oh and he's singing the song because someone in the audience is shrooming hard. He wanted to direct their trip. It probably worked. | |

"Wavy Caps" are a nickname for Psilocybe cyanescens, a variety of psychedelic mushroom commonly found in the PNW in late summer and fall. Mushrooms and gnomes have long been associated in folklore and drug-use circles. Tripping on mushrooms for Halloween (when P. Cyans are fruiting) is a rite of passage for many psychonauts. Psychedelics are non-addictive and many casual users only imbibe once or twice a year. I believe that the "Crazy Gnome" is Isaac under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms, stripped of ego and re-experiencing once familiar surroundings. |

| Ramones – Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Well, the phrase "Today Germany, Tomorrow the World!" was one of the Nazi party's rallying cries/slogans. Generally, people who are pushed around when they are a kid (no matter by whom), they can grow up with a chip on their shoulder. Many of these people join the police, the military, any position of authority where they can use force to get what they want. They learned to accept this type of behavior when they were on the recieving end. I doubt DeeDee was thinking it out this hard when they were in the basement sniffin' carbona and kicking out these jams, though. It probably *did* have something to do with pissing off his dad, or freaking out the mainstream in general. | |
