i think this has just been "rant about boomers" day for me

if prisencolinensinainciusol wasn't a joke song Somebody's Dad (who has strong opinions about lawnmowers, and is friends with a guy who has a confederate flag sticker on his truck) would declare it to be the Greatest Song Ever

(as always it's 100% okay for different people to like different things, this is just my Music Hot Take for today)

don't get me wrong, i like some classic rock, but in the 60s and 70s the music industry was still figuring out things like "mixing music so that it sounds good" and "not writing misogynist lyrics"

listen, it's only classic rock if it's got:

- an incredibly clean drum mix that somehow still sounds terrible
- incomprehensible lyrics aside from "yeah" "baby" "alright"
- a guitar solo with the worst sounding distortion you've ever heard
- and Somebody's Dad assures you that it's the greatest music that's ever been made

apparently in 2020 they released a...direct-to-video?? animated film adaptation of it. i kind of want to watch it but it also sounds like something that would make me full-body cringe

it's not even a badly written comic it's just that it's written from this incredibly US-boomer perspective where the scariest thing that could possibly happen is the soviets winning the cold war

like "oh no soviet dissidents are being turned into thought control cyborgs!! this is not a thing that lex luthor would do"

it's like "ah, superman is trying to improve society, but he's doing it communistically, so it's bad"

red son is wild to me because it's a superman comic that concludes with "oh THANK GOD lex luthor took over the world!"

you ever listen to music that's mixed so that it sounds like they're rocking all the heck out, but, like, down the street?

just like. singing & playing songs on the guitar, for fun, has GREATLY improved my singing ability over the past couple years
