24. These guys sound about as rational as the Y2K hysteria

That was my first real experience with The End-of-the-World crowd, and I pretty much learned then I don't enjoy being around the Henny Penny's of the world very much, they come across as a little too angry for me.



Give a moment or two to the angry young man
With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand
He's been stabbed in the back
He's been misunderstood
It's a comfort to know his intentions are good
And he sits in a room with a lock on the door
With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor
And he likes to be known as the angry young man (B Joel)
