You could make jewelry out of the linoleum.   How rock n' roll would that be?   Or you keep a little piece of the yellow kitchen countertop in your guitar case and rub it for good luck before a gig.   You could even glue a piece of the linoleum onto your guitar.   Fuckin' rock n' roll!

Having a piece of that ugly brown linoleum hanging on the wall would be a great conversation piece, like those Lehman Brothers coffee mugs and tote bags that were popular on Ebay after the 2008 crash.   Doesn't mean I'm a Lehman Brothers fan.   Just means I'm not entirely immune to the charms of ironic coolness.

$500K is not realistic.  In all seriousness, the family could probably do a lot better having the building dismantled and auctioned online piece-by-piece.   The land could be sold separately.   That "Communication Breakdown" wall section would fetch a nice price.  I personally would like to have a piece of that brown…

Agree.  Permanent Waves is my favorite Rush.

I said mainstream music, which was the point of the Dazed and Confused soundtrack.  It's supposed to represent the popular music on the radio that serves as the background noise for high school kids.   What music was both good and on mainstream rock radio playlists in 1996?   Pinkerton and Odelay, sure.   Belle and…

How can you turn down an award named after a submarine-launched nuclear missile?   That thing carried three 200 kiloton thermonuclear warheads.  It's a honor to be chosen for such an award.

Funny how much better 1976's mainstream pop culture has held up compared to 1996's.   1996 was worthless crap for the most part.   I don't think it would even be possible to make a Dazed And Confused set in 1996 and find enough non-horrible mainstream music to fill the soundtrack.

Nevermind is very slick.   Kurt said it sounded like a Motley Crue record, and he was right.   It was produced as if intended to be a Dr. Feelgood for college kids.

You want to feel old?  Dazed And Confused (the movie) turns 20 today.   It was released on September 24, 1993.   At the time it was a nostalgic look back on the music and youth culture of 17 years ago.

Louise emailed me and said The Seether represents 90's nostalgia and you can't fight it.    The lyrics were purposely written to make sense only after 20 years had passed.   It's conceptually brilliant.

Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret

My god you people are naive.   No matter how unpleasant the initial circumstances, once a person surrenders to expedience( i.e. makes their deal with the devil), it's a pretty good bet that person will eventually come to appreciate the perks that come with the deal.   Even as a little kid watching this movie, I…

Have you even watched the movie?  In the final scene it's pretty obvious that Rosemary is on her way to embracing her status as Satanic babymom.   She's surrendering.  She knows it and the crowd of devil-worshippers…

She has a long life of fabulous wealth and power ahead of her.  She went through some unpleasant shit, but ask her in a few years if it was all worth it, she'll say "fuck yeah!"
