What Were They Thinking?!?!?

Here's a running monologue of what I think onstage sometimes:

"Man, this is a great crowd! That person in the front with the exceptionally long nose hairs are kind of weird, but everyone else is great! Wonder if they understand what I'm singing about. . . .

Wonder what it'd be like to be a penguin. I wonder if I'd miss having opposable thumbs. I bet I would at first. I bet I'd miss getting to see movies like Fight Club . . .

Fight Club is such a great concept. I wish I could have thought up the idea of personifying a schizophrenic as a separate entity. It's so effective and creepy.

I wonder what it would feel like to punch myself in the face. I wonder if I could even do it. I bet not. I'd probably chicken out at the last moment.

Wonder if anyone here would notice if I punched myself in the face onstage. I bet I could get away with it. I bet no one would notice until they saw blood running down my face. That'd be so cool- seeing some guy knock himself out. Okay, I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it now. Do it! Don't wuss out! Do it. 1, 2, 3. . knew I couldn't do it."

The Idea of Cool


Nobody in this band really was that cool to begin with (possibly with the exception of Paul), so here's an outsider's view of what makes someone cool:

10. You wear clothes that went out of style 40 years ago. All the old people that used to wear the clothes and make them unpopular have died.

9. You never get caught in McDonald's, unless you're protesting.

8. Large sunglasses are a must. Large unusable glasses from the 1960's are even better.

7. You don't answer questions. You make statements, usually ending with a puff on your designer pipe that you bought from aborigines that you.

6. You play at least four instruments that nobody's ever heard of.

5. You wear a scarf in the heat of summer.

4. You scour the internet for obscure bands from other countries, and then rave about them to people you don't know.

3. If you ride a bicycle, you buy a new one-speed bike that looks exactly like a 1950's bike, and try to ride it while wearing a homemade skirt. (substitute designer skinny jeans if your a guy.)

2. You drive an electric car that you can't afford, and you're saving up to fly to Prague for a green conference. Approximate fuel used for your flight will equal 5 year's worth of gas for a Hummer.

1. You know you're cool, but would never admit it. That would somehow make you uncool.
