Now & Zen

Now & Zen







"While the blending of power/pop extremes was nothing the Velvet Underground, or even the Beatles, hadn't done years earlier, the Hüskers pulled it off in a way that transcended gimmickry, and did so on such terrain –- the American hardcore punk scene –- where nobody saw it coming or even believed it possible."



Something I learned today

Black and white is always grey

Looking through the window pane

I'm not inside your brain

Something I learned today

Yield to the right-of-way

Stopping at a 4-way sign

Someone else's rules, not mine



Something I learned today

Never look straight in the sun's rays

Letting all the sunshine in

Can't remember where I've been




So much for me updating my musical references. Then again, this still works after 20 years... Onion had a good bit a couple years ago about a guy looking at the "you must be born before 1984 to buy cigarettes" sign and remembering Zen Arcade: "He then ran his hand through his thinning hair."



(You gotta do the Salon watch-the-ad-thing to read it all. Worth it.)
