Late Night Nostalgia Road Trip

Back before America became a nation of frightened, racist dickheads with Gadsden flags, we were a nation of frightened, racist dickheads with really tight strings and a righteous horn section.

Somewhere down a still-warm stretch of asphalt lay intrigue, romance and redemption. All you needed was a ragtop two-seater and a tank of gas. And if the wonders you discovered were too rare, too unsettling or too out-of-the-mainstream for you, you could turn around and drive back to Hooterville, you fucking hick.

Aww, wish my damn sound worked.  I love Route 66.

Been thinking - I don’t think we were ever going to avoid this crap.  The frequency and intensity of such incidents cannot be predicted, though hopefully it is controllable in some measure.  The sucky economy is going to aggravate things muchly.  Also, too, old white people’s media (Fox, Rush, other wingnut cable & radio) is no ally.  As long as this stuff keeps gathering eyeballs and eardrums, they’ll keep pouring on the gasoline.

I should suck it up and call my (white) family more often, to see how much of this poison is soaking in.  They tend to keep Fox on as background noise around the home; can’t prove it, but I think that’s how a lot of this toxicity seeps in for a lot of others like them.  Jackhammer-like repetition is pretty effective, unfortunately.

With the Route 66 strings playing in my haid, I bid you good evening.

@meepmeep09— The shit isn’t going to stop. Whatever low-viscosity, anodyne coating once prevented America from eating itself alive and grinding itself to pieces has been degraded to the point of breakdown. We’ve become the Dark Twin of the nation we once were, an Anti-America that despises its own ideals.

The future is going to suck.

Meanwhile, check out Amazon. I’d never heard this tune in full stereo until today, although I remember falling asleep on the floor to a ratty, mono version of it many summer nights long ago. Riddle’s band and charts are just phenomenal.

There are a couple of bars where echoes of the “Batman” theme bleed through, but this came first so it doesn’t bother me.

The other day two other assholes, like yourselves, came through here in a Corvette. Look at all the Tepees!

@Kre8tr810—Why do you post jokes you KNOW only I will get? Are you having another “episode?” Do I need to call “Dr. Dan” and have him arrange another intervention?

Hey Strange, who knows who else may have seen Mr G-Fresh in “Cannibal, The Musical?” I watched it many times. In fact, you posted the wonderful version of “Let’s Build A Snowman” on this very site. Call anyone you like, but stop interfering with my first amendment rights!

I swear to God, you’re gonna be the first one in the woodchipper right after Obama invalidates the midterm elections and The Great Winnowing begins.
