Where Have All the Punk Rockers Gone? (Free verse) by wilco The best are kept at bay.
An inverted Darwinian orgy of sound.
Festering on the vines,
while the gods of old lose interest.
There's a change in the air.
Bordering on disturbing.
Clamoring for approval,
as a million records hit the floor.
It's getting very quiet in the world.
For the moment, at least.
Turn off the radio,
so that you can hear it too.
Can you hear it?

LET'S SEE YOU DAAAAAANCE SUCKA YOU GOT NOTHIN ON ME
"Just give me a beat that I can dance to!"
-zodiac's ace band, The Brotherhood of the Righteous and Harmonious Fist
"inverted Darwinian orgy of sound" wow.
De-evolution? Good with punk; well said. As for the rest, I wish you could make it flow a little smoother without creating a dichotomy between the punk rock sound and, well - smooth flow.
I don't know the punk rock scene, guess why, but I like the "inverted Darwinian orgy of sound" description of it. If it's festering on the vines, good ridance.
Actually music in general is festering on the vine. Well, not really, but if you turn on the radio, you think it is. Here's hoping that Creed make a new album soon!
I like Don Henley and Tom Waits
Don Henley is - one of the best.
talk about writing a song... christ.
Nice. But I bet that Tom Waits could beat up Don Henley in a New York minute. ;0)
And for those who didn't get it, I was being sarcastic about the Creed thing.....
argh.
never explain a joke!
I know.....but I thought about it and I can't have someone thinking that I like Creed....even if it ruins it...just can't have it.
Besides, what if Creed saw it and based their decision to make a new album solely on that joke. Then it would be my fault and I would have to kill myself for unleashing that upon the world.
okay. you got me on that one.
then you have no spine. who cares what they think?
hear that everyone--i'm having creed's love child--and i'm only doing it to spite all the proper Xnrockers out there!! i think i'll name it, Christal Laine Creed.
Are you seeing the new Pixies tour? They should still be playing in one of those Northern territories - Chicago and Toronto in November, I think.
I hear Frank Black is worse than ever.
And drive away in an old 55.
yep, lickety splitly; have you ever actually read the lyrics to that song? I'm gonna go dig those up now (it works as a song, but on paper - whoah. :O)
Foundem:
Well, my time went to quickly I went lickety-splitly out to my old fifty-five As I pulled away slowly, feelin' so holy, God knows I was feelin' alive And now the sun's comin' up I'm ridin' with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger Six in the morning, gave me no warnin' I had to be on my way Now the cars are all passin' me, Trucks are all flashin' me I'm headed home from your place And now the sun's comin' up I'm ridin' with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks (minus chorus and bridge)
I love that song. It's my Tom Waits favorite. Happy to see sombody on the far-away East Coast likeing my underdog. Sure would like to see him in concert and sober, or nearly so.
You know thats an Eagles song (too?), right?
Wrong. I'd be devistated to think my homless ratchet-throated idol did not write that. Did he?
Phew - you can sleep easy. "Ol '55" was on Wait's Album "Closing Time" (1973)- The Eagles did a cover of it on "On The Border" (1974). Track 7 :)
I am so relieved. Thank you.
Pixies. nice.
Don Henley??? Oi vey.
Yep, it's savvy kewl & gets m'juices sizzlin. Blessed with nine.
