Delete This Account Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 ¶ excuse my indulgence, because the boys are backing down.¶ so, as their song goes: raise a big whiskey to them.¶ rock and roll might just be dead. and i've had weigh too much, too drunk.¶ but let's all push on because, after all, we're all professionals here, and the bills need to get paid.¶ the replacements have broken up yet again, marking the end of an error.¶ and i'm fortunate to call their brash swagger and clamor my own.¶ ¶ i'm no fan of many things.¶ in fact i'll heckle the sellouts from cher to bono,¶ both of them certainly apply.¶ and i'll challenge you to a duel, however, if you question their relevance and/or resonance.¶ we'll take 10 paces at dawn, or don,¶ and see who's left stumbling.¶ ¶ the original degenerates have finally unravelled in spain of all places,¶ where paul westerberg announced no mas.¶ not that the mats are the same left o' the dial outfit of before¶ with bobby stinson dead¶ chris mars smartly keeping his distance¶ and jespersen still cashing his checks.¶ ¶ there's only so much anyone can take,¶ and it's not easy being a 'mats fan given their degenerate leanings.¶ they might have been left of the dial,¶ but the replacements have always maintained¶ their raised middle finger place in my contrarian heart.¶ forever, it seems, treatment bound.¶ ¶ i've seen them four times, and each one immemorable.¶ and the last of the last wasn't the best,¶ yet a lasting impression of their imperfection.¶ i'd say !@#$ you and !@#$ you, lorne michaels.¶ but that would be immaterial.¶ once again on the lip of the spotlight,¶ they backed away and quit.¶ ¶ it's certainly not the first time,¶ but it could well be the last.¶ and that's more than fine with me.¶ at the very least,¶ as pete townshend once said¶ but failed to follow up upon,¶ i'd rather the replacements died before they got old:¶ the have you seen lucky, swinging party, don't tell a soul,¶ pleased to tim meet me, hootenany, let it be,¶ red-light run it,¶ stinkin'¶ bastards.¶ ¶ jw¶ ¶ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
