That you love and who loves ...

I remember speeding around South Phoenix and blasting the then-just-released "The Queen Is Dead" by The Smiths about as loud as it would go. "There Is A Light That Will Never Go Out" has a couple lines: "If a double-decker bus smashes into us / To die by your side would be such a heavenly way to die." Goddang as a teenager I thought that was a cool, dark and romantic lyric. I thought the same in my 20s. And the same here in my 30s. Everyone I ever met thought those lines were cool, dark and romantic. Then came K-Dub.

"That's the stupidest thing I ever heard," he said. Then he mocked ol' Morrissey's croon. Aghast, I nearly smashed K-Dub in the face for his blasphemy. "Yer a dick, K-Dub," I said. "Yeah, yr a dick, K-Dub," SJ said in agreement.

"That may be, but those lyrics are stupid and so is that song. I'll give you "Cemetary Gates," though, that's a good, well-written song.

I agreed with that statement.

Tonight - Homestead.
