The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun

OK I'm really dating myself here, but some of you may be old enough to remember this popular comedy video back in the 80's (easily found on YouTube). I couldn't help thinking that back then part of what let us laugh at it was how outlandish it was in the sense that something like that happening in real life was totally unthinkable back then. It was sad to think "fast forward to today, not so much anymore"... my how times change.

funny then because of course nothing that outlandish could ever happen, too close to reality now

a school shooting happens--how ridiculous it seemed that something like that would ever happen.

Downtown Julie Brown. It was a mini-album, yes, on vinyl. Loved all the songs on the album.

...And she also re-recorded the song about a decade ago, in "honor" of Failin' Palin. The remake is named "The Ex-Beauty Queen's Got A Gun".

She sure hasn't lost her edge.. If anything, it's gotten sharper with age and experience.
