How come white politicians are never forced to denounce allegedly offensive statements by fellow whites but black politicians are forced to distance themselves from things like that? As in, how come nobody would hold Pat Robertson’s comments against a Republican? And how come nobody talks about the reason many African-Americans are angry in the first place?
Hey, it’s band update time! So I’m dressed as Jesus on Friday for the KUSF anniversary party …
(OK, if you really want to know, you need to sign up KUSF as a friend on MySpace and look for the picture of Jesus Fucking Christ)
Anyway, several people asked about my music stuff (the Wendy Kroys played the anniversary party a couple of years ago), and I told them that I had a couple of bands in the hopper, one of which was moving along pretty well and that I hoped to have out for shows sometime in the summer.
Then, I went to Molotov’s for last call and ran into Pork Chop. Who told me he was quitting the band. Something about not having his muse and not wanting to play music right now. Have you ever dated a manic depressive and when they dump you, you don’t really feel angry or hurt because it came out of nowhere and you’re trying to figure out what the hell happened? That’s what it felt like.
Ah, but Jessica and I are carrying on. Tonight, we worked on a bunch of songs, including Will Die for Change, the one we worked on with Rob a couple of weeks ago. We also pulled out a couple of others from my notebook including Grandma Was a Skank! Jess thinks it could be a hit. I’m thinking Crackhead is more radio-friendly.
By the way, Jesus raised $34.50 for KUSF.
