Loved this song as a teen.
Was like an anthem to me.

I know, its retarded, but kind of draws near to my inner whitetrash-redneckness.

Discovered from one of my favourite episodes of Futurama.
Another two that spring to mind - the one where Fry’s dog is found, but they don’t bring him back to life because ‘he probably had a long happy life with a new owner’. The other - Fry finds an instrument that can express his feelings to Leela, bypassing his own inability absent of it.
No time to get into any of the philosophy threads today - another day for that - I have some friends to meet up with and errands to run on this Saturday. I watched Blade Runner (the final cut) early this morning - first time ever seeing it - as I drank a rare cup of coffee. It was a notable experience both in theme and aesthetics. I got into a bit of reflection after the movie looking up various things on the internet as I listened to this album.
