rostasi Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 You probably don't want to be watching this at work. No nudity, but the kid's got a mouth. Do you think it's funny...or, ultimately, sad. Does it make you feel: "Thank God, the kid's learning to be creative with stream-of-consciousness spoken word." or are you inclined to say: "What's the deal? Are his parents away?"

Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 my feed keeps breaking up but ..."waffle house mouse from ecuador! amore to gloreh. take little girls on the zone coaster then put em in the toaster." as jon landau sed "i've seen the future of rap and roll ..." Madman drummers bummers and indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder feelin’ kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground Some all-hot half-shot was headin’ for the hot spot snappin’ his fingers clappin’ his hands And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover’s knot with a whatnot in her hand And now young scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand And some bloodshot forget-menot whispers daddy’s within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band... and on watch out SATs! and thank god he's not listening to Journey!

Rooster_Ties Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hey, street cred doesn't develop overnight, you know. And it doesn't grow on trees either. I'm just saying -- everybody's gotta start somewhere. I mean, maybe he won't end up bein' the next Eminem. But he sure as hell won't, if he doesn't at least try. Word.

Brad Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I think that's pretty, pretty sad, just a general reflection of how far this culture has sunk. If parents are providing a proper education and monitoring things, you hope this doesn't happen. You say "hope" because it's very hard to control kids nowadays. As my son say, "you can't force me" so if you've got a determined child, it's very hard to get them to do what you think may be the right thing. In my view, what that kid is doing is not the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I'd take what Brad says and multiply it by 100. If he were my kid ... well, that wouldn't be my kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I dunno, it is not that far off from someone banging out three chords and shouting a cover of "Louie, Louie." I am pretty sure I was nearly as ridiculous and foul-mouthed at that age, too. He actually has more talent that 50 Cent, IMHO. B-) No offense but that's not saying a lot. If he was doing Louie, Louie, I'd be happy. I realize times are different and that while I look askance at rap, etc., my parents probably did the same with the Beatles. However, as to what passes today for musical expression is just way removed from what I think it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as to what passes today for musical expression is just way removed from what I think it used to be. Back in the 60's, the Kingsmen (who recorded Louie Louie) were brought up on obscenity charges for that song. I realize I lost track of modern music about 10 years ago. I'm a fuddy-duddy now. I guess I'll just have to trust my son and his judgement on what he'll be listening to as a teenager. I remember my mom screaming at me (she never yelled at me normally) to turn off Suicidal Tendancies (a punk band) when I was a teenager and I turned out fine.

I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it and I take my time and it doesn't work out the way I wanted to. It's like I concentrate real hard and it doesn't work out Everything I do and everything I try never turns out It's like I need time to figure these things out But there's always someone there going Hey Mike: You know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately.You know, maybe you should get away and maybe you should talk about it, maybe you'll feel a lot better And I go: No it's okay, you know I'll figure it out, just leave me alone I'll figure it out. You know I'll just work by myself. And they go: Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it. And I go: No I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself and they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me and it builds up inside and it builds up inside. So you're gonna be institutionalized You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes You won't have any say They'll brainwash you until you see their way. I'm not crazy - institutionalized You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized You're driving me crazy - institutionalized They stuck me in an institution Said it was the only solution to give me the needed professional help to protect me from the enemy, myself I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything but then again I was thinking about nothing And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there she called my name and I didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming MIKE! MIKE! And I go: What, what's the matter And she goes: What's the matter with you? I go: There's nothing-wrong mom. And she goes: Don't tell me that, you're on drugs! And I go: No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a pepsi. And she goes: NO you're on drugs! I go: Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking. She goes: No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way! I go: Mom just give me a Pepsi please All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me. Just a Pepsi.

So we decided that it would be in your interest if we put you somewhere where you could get the help that you need. And I go: Wait, what do you mean, what are you talking about, we decided!? My best interest?! How can you know what's my best interest is? How can you say what my best interest is? What are you trying to say, I'm crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches, I went to your institutional learning facilities?! So how can you say I'm crazy.

7/4 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Mom just give me a Pepsi please Around 83-85, I was working in a warehouse and we had to take turns with the boom box, there was a mix tape with this tune on it. This was on the tape too: Bitchin' Camaro Rod - Hey Jack, what's happenin'? Joe - Oh, I don't know. Rod - Well, rumor around town says you think you might be heading down to the shore. Joe - Uh, yeah, I think I'm goin' down to the shore. Rod - Whatcha gonna do down there? Joe - Uh, I don't know, play some video games, buy some Def Leppard t-shirts. Rod - Hey, don't forget to get your Motley Crue t-shirt, y'know, all proceeds go to get their lead singer out of jail. Joe - Uh huh. Rod - Hey, you gonna check out the Sandbar while you're there? Joe - Uh, what's the Sandbar? Rod - Oh, it's this place that lets sixteen year-old kids drink. Joe - Oh, cool. Rod - Y'know who's gonna be there? Joe - Uh, who? Rod - My favorite cover band, Crystal Shit. Joe - Oh. Rod - Yeah, they do a Doors show, you'd be really impressed, in fact, it goes a little like this: Love me two times baby Love me twice today Love me two times girl Cause I got AIDS Love me two times baby, once for tomorrow, once cause I got AIDS Joe - Wow, Pretty good Jim Morrison impersonation there. Rod - Yeah, I hope those guys have a good sense of humor and don't take us to court. Joe - Uh, what's the court? Rod - Never mind that, Joe - Oh, you mean like the People's Court? Rod - Well, that's another story; the important thing here is you gotta ask me how I'm gonna get down to the shore. Joe - Uh, how you gonna get down to the shore? Rod - Funny you should ask, I've got a car now. Joe - Oh wow, how'd you get a car? Rod - Oh my parents drove it up here from the Bahamas. Joe - You're kidding! Rod - I must be, the Bahamas are islands, okay, the important thing now, is that you ask me what kind of car I have. Joe - Uh, what kinda car do ya' got? Rod - I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO! BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO I ran over my neighbors BITCHIN CAMARAO, BITCHIN CAMARO Now it's in all the papers. My folks bought me a BITCHIN CAMARO with no insurance to match; So if you happen to run me down, please don't leave a scratch. I ran over some old lady one night at the county fair; And I didn't get arrested, because my dad's the mayor. BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Doughnuts on your lawn BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Tony Orlando and Dawn When I drive past the kids, they all spit and cuss, Because I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO and they have to ride the bus. So you'd better get out of my way, when I run through your yard; Because I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO; And an Exxon credit card. BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Hey, man where ya headed? BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO I drive on unleaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
