That song annoys the crap out of me.
Who in their right mind ever thought up that title and those lyrics?
Punkrockers with flowers in their hair?
Yeah, right and hippies with machine guns !!
I found this thread doing a search about You’re So Vain (I’m glad to see I’m not the only person who wants to smack Carly Simon).
Now I wanna smack this Sandi Thom girl. I’d never heard this song before (that’s why avoiding the radio can be such a blessing) but felt compelled to look up the video on Youtube. And I am genuinely annoyed that I had to listen to this crap, even if it was my curiosity that got the better of me.
I understand the sentiment- a simpler time, less technology, less Big Brother, all that. But really, don’t group punk rockers and hippies together. At all. I have a hard time imagining the Mamas and the Papas singing about smashing the state, or discussing how it’s time for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
Punk rockers do not appreciate being compared to hippies.
And, you wish you were (not I wish I effing was) a punk rocker? What’s stopping ya? [waves] Hi! Some of us didn’t realize there was a time limit on enjoying stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll and voicing a healthy skepticism towards the actions of our government. We’re still around. We’ll start you off on The Clash and The Ramones. Then we’ll move on to the Oi! and hardcore movements. Maybe next week we can take you shopping for some bondage pants and studded belts.
:rolleyes:
