Re: thanks from the bottom of my artichoke heart

i wasn't. i was typing a reply to your post when i got hungry and went to the kitchen and saw a can of artichoke hearts near my cookie stash, and thought of it.

Ironic isn't it? Sadly, I have a higher accuracy rate in figuring out what is wrong with people than they do.

Oh.

No it's not because this group would get rid of one singer and replace it with a better looking one.

Yes, but even my own mom sometimes starts to call me by my sister's name even though there is one of me.

Who is 'my guy'? Oh, the video store guy? I don't want to pray to a person. That's wrong.

You pray to God, you don't pray to people. Prayer is a sign of worship, and people just don't fit in that category of things to worship. And I don't understand that concept. ARe these God's stand-ins if he becomes too busy?

um...

thats why i like the x-files, but when it goes off the air, i don't know what i'll do then. i only tolerate Malcolm in the middle because it;s sandwiched between the simpsons and x-files on sunday, but i haven't kept up with TV a whole lot. I feel out of the loop.
> Full of reason or full of faith?
neither. They are full of crap.
> Oh, I see. We only care about our Morrissey, that's true...
what else productive is there to do?
I got bored this weekend and actually bought Johnny Marr's latest Electronic album. It's not too bad and a few of the songs have grown on me...of course, i need more time to sit down with it and get through the subtleties. Much better than that stupid Clinton album. A couple of good songs, but it sounds like somebody got out their Wal-Mart special Casio keyboard and hit the demonstration button on it.
I can honestly say I do like a lot of his post smith's stuff, even if I'm not incredibly familiar with all of it. Those Billy Bragg songs he collaborated with were my favorites on the CD.

You mean the Eric Clapton wannabes who hang around in guitar shops all day and noodle on the guitars? Christ, those people need to be retired.
Today, there are hardly any songs on the radio with extended and elaborate guitar solos.

i'm talking about the packaging of a lifestyle. Even that Michael Bracewell article packaged him as the poor old lonelyheart who is hated by everyone, but also happens to have fine taste in furniture. Contrast that with him selling out concerts and having everyone climb on stage so they can rub themselves all over him. Even if very few of those people would have him for anything beyond casual sex, that is still more than what most of us get offered. Most people do not have much of a choice.
