Haiku for you John

So I had this idea.

So I write it up.

So I find other people have had the idea first.

I suspected this might be the case, which is why I did the web search in the first place.

Such is life.

So anyway, here's the idea:

Is your music the "So It Goes" with the chorus "And so it...Goes" with the odd pause for three times, and then "and where it stops no one knows?"

Because I've had that stuck in my head along with "Teenage Depression" for about three weeks. My dad loves that song (don't feel old, my dad's easily got twenty years on you. :-)

Indeed it is!

So It Goes
Nick Lowe

I remember one night the kid cut off his right arm
In a fit to save a bit of power
He got fifty thousand watts
In a big acoustic tower
Security's so tight tonight
Oh they're ready for a tussle
Gotta keep your backstage passes
'Cause your promoter had the muscle

　

And so it goes and so it goes
And so it goes and so it goes
But where it's goin' no one knows
And so it goes and so it goes
And so it goes and so it goes
But where it's goin' no one knows

In the tall buildings
sit the head of all nations
Worthy men from Spain and Siam
Al1 day discussions with the Russians
But they still went ahead and vetoed the plan
Now up jumped the U.S. representative
He's the one with the tired eyes
747 put him in that condition condition
Flyin' back from a peace-keeping mission

...etc...

Imagine my shock when I heard it in Starbucks today, of all the places. Right on the heels of being in Uno's and hearing the Clash sandwiched between Flock of Seagulls and the freakin' Safety Dance. I was afraid to go into Toys R Us, lest I hear the Snivelling Shits in the Barbie aisle.

At the rate the commodifcation of 70s punk is going, we'll probably see a "Ray"-like biopic about the Germs or something. Or possibly Jello Biafra plushies.

We who were all broke college students (or broke retail-workers, or just plain broke) the first time around, are "older enough" to have money now and we want our music back. ;)

Okay, you can have Elvis Costello, but only the recent stuff, with Burt Bacharach or however the hell you spell his name.

I just want a new musician who doesn't whine. Sid Vicious couldn't sing and couldn't play bass, but, dammit, he wasn't whiny!

That's pure awesome. Almost makes me wish our spam filter here weren't so damn effective.

I think a new form of folk art has been created. Great post!
