Sinister: acid house in d.c. and I ponder Morrissey

[Pulpbot at xxx.com]

C'mon folks, we can't let the Bowlie bastards have all the fun.
Acid House is showing as part of the DC film fest next Saturday (at 9 p.m.) 
and on Sunday (at 7:30 I think). Who's up?

Which begs the question, what  little marketing gnome thought to entice kids 
into movies first by releasing a great soundtrack? he/she oughta work for 
NASA or something.
Speaking of movies, please don't see Never Been Kissed. If I didn't have 
winsome adolescent memories attached to Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of 
Wonderful et al (say what you will but it twas my first exposure to 
'alternative' culture, alternative being giant posters of General Public, of 
course), I'd probably have the same gag-heavy response as I did to NBK. On 
the other hand, it's good that "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" 
still survives as the anthem of crushing loneliness. You know, there is 
speculation that Homer was not actually a single man, but a composite of many 
oral poets who refined their craft over many generations. Ah yes, my 
children, perhaps our children will one day argue the same of Morrissey. 
Ok, off to watch Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Now that's cultural crit done 
right, and Joel made a cameo last week, too!!
