i'll turn my head when you come at me with a spoon

Yeah, (Smog) again. I know, you hate it that he stretches the word into hu-man (see easily led), but you're just not giving old Bill a chance. I'm sure of this. Listen to nineteen and listen to the way he sings

the next day, she never called me again
the day after that, she gave me a call
and she was all drunk

especially the last line. It's pure magic, I'm telling you. He keeps at it, too, on Rain on Lens:

I see the night sky as a jewelry store window
and my mind is half a brick

though I suppose it could've easily been a line cast out of ex-con a few years earlier. Who knows?

and if there's one thing i know
it's when not to speak

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of Things^TM.
