I Want To Destroy You
I want to destroy you
I want to destroy you
I want to destroy you
I want to destroy you

Well I feel it comin' on again just like it did before
They feed your pride with boredom then they lead you on to war
The way they treat each other it makes me feel ill
Cause if you want to fight you're just dying to get killed

I want to destroy you
I want to destroy you

The talk upon the media and everything you read
They tell you your opinions and they're very good indeed

I want to destroy you

And when I have destroyed you and I'm pickin' at your bones
You won't have a single item left to call your own

I want to destroy you
I want to destroy you
I want to destroy you
I want to destroy you
I want to destroy you


I happened just to listen to the Uncle Tupelo cover of this tune...the lyrics hit home and set me to thinking about the current state of affairs in the USA today...

14. I love the Soft Boys
Haven't heard Uncle Tupelo's cover of it.

I also love Robyn Hitchcock's solo stuff. I saw him a few years ago and he just mingled in the lobby afterward. I went up to him and talked to him for quite a while. Super nice guy. :hi:

16. Robyn Hitchcock is a great guy...
I met him in Athens, Ga about 15 years ago when I was in a band there and he was in town for a show, and he couldn't be nicer; even bought be a beer..

17. I believe it
I have to say that he was one of the most sincere, kindest celebrity type people I've ever met. And what a brilliant musician and songwriter.:D

18. I should also mention one of my favorite songs, "Viva Sea-Tac"
One of the best songs ever written about Seattle.

"Viva, viva Seattle, Tacoma, Viva Sea-Tac! They've got the best coffee and computers and smack." :7

20. I have GOT to get that!
:D

Nostalgia: I was browsing at one of our 'hip' downtown CD/vinyl stores today, and came across a couple of Young Fresh Fellows CD's from my college DJ days. I have never seen one of their albums outside of WA before. Good times.

22. in '89-'90
Green River's KGRG 89.9! I still have a tape of my work that makes me cringe.

Before that, I did 3 years at a puny Virginia station.

23. Oh yeah, that's a great station!
I can rarely get it up here, but whenever I'm driving down that way, I always tune in.

I was news editor of the Daily at the UW during those very years - our paths may have crossed!:hi:

24. I remember you!
I used to see you at _________, and you were always drinking a _________! One day, I knew you and I would post on a message board and exchange Quincy jokes. :D

26. I have the text!
"Verily, a great boom will come from
the South of a Kingdom...
A County, of Auburn color
Static colors of young fresh hues
And Mayhem from the ether
Will fill moving vessels
Powered by dinosaur flesh
Forsooth!!! A flamingyouth
Will heed the ZombyWoof!"

19. I love their cover of Vegetable Man
It's not a good song, but Hitchcock is a dead ringer for Barrett on vocals.
