Hombre Secreto

I was a teenage dinosaur
Stoned and obsolete
I didn't get fucked and I didn't get kissed
I got so fucking pissed!

Just now it seems like this blog could easily degenerate into a stream of random song quotes and prickly whining.

Just now.

You're not thinking, you're on drugs!
Normal people don't act that way!

I've been at this long enough now to know that these things are just passing fancies, just another square of ill-matched orange paisley in the patchwork of Walky Talky; of life. No point getting too concerned about it.

It's just a Phase he's going through.

Be that as it may. One thing I've learned over the years is that a phase may turn out to be a disastrous mistake -- or it may turn out to be the love of your life. Or, heaven help you, both.

So. Random song quotes and prickly whining. Oh wait, it's a blog.

Some people try to pick up girls, get called an asshole
This did not happen to Pablo Picasso
Why, he could walk down the street
Girls could not resist his stare
Subsequently, Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Nope, not around here
Not like you

To say that Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole seems very bold. The only person who could do so with any reasonable hope of accuracy is Pablo Picasso himself, and, to tell you the truth, if he told me that, I probably wouldn't believe him.

Nurse! A copy of the first Modern Lovers LP to Doc Faustus, stat.

Or, alternately, John Cale's version from 'Helen of Troy' may do in a pinch.

No, thanks. I've heard three different versions and, while the lyrics are the most inventive thing I've seen in a long while, the music nearly drove me mad.

Uh... maybe Roadrunner then?

Unless it's the simplicity and/or repetition of dear Jonathan R. which doesn't agree with you, in which case...
