The Great Wake 19: Dig The Synthesizers

 

Remove your eyes and ears, keep your words to yourself, dole them out carefully.  Take your brain and trick it, convince it of good and bad, of right and wrong.  Walk into the wind, don't get swooped up, turn your back if you must, keep the sand away from your face.  Walk backwards so you can see the view, so you can see the crash from afar, from a high ridge.  Enjoy time.

Lawyers, needles, and money.  Here it comes, here it comes, like lions getting thrown swine in a courtroom cage.  The damage done.  That's some low class action suits, the waivers will be shredded, the money will be gone, shrunk and gone.  Like a lost sock, leaving the other sock behind.

Come back Jonee cries DEVO.  This is the second new wave, the wave before the third wave and after the electronic new wave, which came after the first new wave.  Music is best against the wind, shades for the eyes, voices for the words, reverb for the ears.  Tighten up your ego, have some self respect, be fierce for others.  Dig the synthesizers.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
