Cultural oddities
So, last night Ray and I were watching/listening Scuzz, one of the music video channels here, while washing the dishes in the kitchen. They seem to tend more towards the type of stuff I listen to, though that is only based on my observations of seeing the station a couple of times. They were, of course with it being Valentine's Day, playing "love songs". Things such as Marylin Manson's version of "Tainted Love", Velvet Revolver's version of "Fall to Peices", that song with Seether and Amy (something) from Evenescense, "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" from Bloodhound Gang, some emo crap from Papa Roach... You get the idea. Well, there was also a video by Zebrahead, something like about Playboys. (I am not a huge fan of Zebrahead - I don't hate them, I just am not very familiar with their music.) Anyway, the video is the typical teenage fantasy of scantily clad, bare breasted women dancing around in pools, hanging on the lead singer, etc... They showed the bared breasts and all. The next song was that old Guns and Roses song, "You Could Be Mine". In the chorus, they say, "With your bitch slap rappin'/And your cocaine tounge/You get nothin' done"... They bleeped out the word cocaine. Breasts ok. The word cocaine bad. I am confused.
You know... It helps to hit the "Publish" button instead of the "Save As Draft"
