Both in terms of being properly laugh-out-loud funny and in terms of shutting down some of the insane arguments you will here from racists on the internet. Get involved.
Everyone from the opening band stops by to party, and a drunk guy about my age with black hair and a thrift store wool sweater rants to me about Facebook and its cultural significance. I nod politely and stare straight ahead, at the campy portrait of Jesus on the opposite wall. The guy keeps on bringing up cute phrases like “the decline of privacy” and then trailing off before completing the thought. His lecture would be interesting if it actually made grammatical sense.

Turns out Amy Klein from Titus Andronicus has a fantastic blog. Everyone and their dog is (quite rightly) linking to a fantastic post she did today on women in music and their representation in the media, but the humanity and realism of this little paragraph caught my eye. Who hasn’t been cornered by “I’m not sure about this Facebook” guy? |
