Lou Malnati's
6.4.2k4

Rollin' thru Berkeley the other night with this hottie, we're lookin' for a Chicago-style pizza joint without any luck: Ess-peeediadotcom's maps are for shit. Real nice night, though. Pretty sunset. Didn't mind being semi-lost. 107-7 The Bone was pumpin' out some good rock and roll that made the drive. An all-time Van Halen classic, Panama, got me thinking. I heard the line, "got my back up against the record machine," and wondered if the kids these days understood the line. Do they know what records are, let alone a record machine? I've heard that nine-of-ten of them little devils don't know who Col. Sanders is, what the sum of sixty plus nine is and can't identify the USA on a fuckin map of the USA. Granted, some lyrics rock lyrics from before my time befuddle me ("wrapped up like a douche into the rumor of the night ... WTF???), but I know what a telegraph is, even though I ain't ever used one.

Started me thinkin' about really MEANINGFUL rock lyrics from the 80's that are lost on the youth of today. The Bone rolled out another song right after that prolly spanned the generation gap some, but also left the kids hanging. The song "Money For Nothing" mentions microwave ovens, refridgerators and TV's. Sure. The little dopes know these devices. But when Knopffler or whatever his name is goes on to say, "Just play your guitar on the MTV" I bet the kids turn off. Ain't no one playing any instruments on the MTV today. I guess it's later than I think.
