Hey can anyone explain this bit to me? I'm watching Robyn Hitchcock on KCRW right now -- he just related a story of being at an in-store appearance in Boston in the '80's, he signed a Bryan Ferry poster with the name Peter Gabriel, and that the owner threw all his products out of the store and said he was disgusting. I'm not really literate enough in the ways of pop to get this at all. Also he just made a cock joke about the mouth organ he is playing on Queen Elvis.
Now "Queen Elvis" -- there is a song I can totally rock out to if I'm understanding correctly the reaction you guys were talking about on the Journey thread. Fuck an a,
Getting blowjobs from the press,
Oh I'm jealous can't you guess
I could never squeeze inside your dress
Queen Elvis
Are you suggesting a subtextual analysis, Ogged?

There was a piece of dust on my screen that looked like an accent above the "i" in "analysis." That would have been a nice touch.

I'll just pretend I have the faintest idea what you mean.

Keep it up, and pretty soon you'll have a PhD.

If your defense lasts more than four hours, call a doctor.

3 -- he's trying to suggest you failed to make an easy joke on the shape of the word "analysis".

No, there was really a piece of dust on my screen.
Standpipe's 5 reminds me of a great line from Entourage, but I don't want to ruin it....

Dammit, I didn't know "Queen Elvis" contained the word "blowjobs". Now I can't play it on my radio show anymore.
Please don't tell me "Madonna of the Wasps" has a line about fucking the shit out of bears.

Well you could bleep it, right? That would be kind of fun.

If you're bleeping, and it's not fun, you're not doing it right.

I guess nobody's going to explain that Peter Gabriel thing to me? Rats.

Aw shucks, my first pwn from the Mineshaft. I think I might cry a little bit with joy before I fall asleep.

If I can make just one person cry a little bit with joy before she falls asleep, I know I've done my duty.

Wasn't there a thread about that?
Posted by washerdreyer | Link to this comment | 08-27-06 10:07 PM
Why yes, I believe there was.

This?
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 08-27-06 10:13 PM
This is the one I had in mind.

Also: the Robyn Hitchcock video makes me want to change my handle to "Self-Loving Groover"; out of deference to LB's sanity I shall not.
