Onslaught The vibraphone is all alone. Wasted away are the wicked ways of the church organ Moog. A funeral procession of synthesizers And knob twiddlers Kept only in memory and mental Visualization. The lonely vibrtions Sending soulful waves of Synthetic sympathy-searching seductiveness Similar to the social barnacles of the American Lost. We've seen the Beat back down To the dull doldrums of drudgery and over-exposure Finding it impossible to maintain The image of "Beat" When your blue jeans are starched And sponsored by the san fransisco Coffee Scene. We've seen the hippie flag Flying two fingers in stance of peace. The forefinger broken When Macy's held a clearance on bellbottoms And on tolled the bells of marriage! A requiem for idealism, When the future comes knocking. With one finger left standing, The middle, a banner, a voice (administrative edit) Punk rock came to give a cold-cock To disco balls and cocaine Giving way to New Wave and the Continuous consumption of the Latest crave The craze of boy bands and now... the supposed "Return of Rock". Whatever. We'll last as long as we can And that's all that we can do. For now, show some love to the lonely vibraphone. [This message has been edited by Nan (01-09-2003 09:06 AM).] |

I liked the edge in this. Fortunately here in New Orleans, vogue is unheard of, and by the time trends reach us, it's a "has-trend"--and I was so appalled to see New Orleans become a trend too. Glad that is over with. I liked this much. I see you are new here, so WELCOME. And you might wanna look around some. We have a Mature Content forum where the language is less censored. Good luck to you, I will be reading.  |
