I saw three great bumper stickers in the last 24 hours, two of which were on the same vehicle.
The first one was yesterday afternoon. It read simply, “If you’re in a folk song, DON’T GO TO THE RIVER!”
So true. How many acoustic ballads have ended in romantic tragedy by running water? A damn few, for sure.
The next two I peeped this morning. One said, “Ban Republican Marriage,” the other, “Practice Compassionate Impeachment.”
Cathy just reminded me of the “Republicans for Voldemort” sticker/tee shirt. Arch.
On another note, I’m realizing that my musical tastes are extremist. On the one hand, I can’t get enough of Harry Nilsson ballads. On the other, I think the new Gorgoroth (thanks Chris!) is the best black metal album of all time.
If Stevie Nicks joined Sunn O))), I’d be all set.
Got something to say?

I’ve got a sticker on my bass amp that says: “If you’re in a folk song, DON’T GO TO THE RIVERwww.neilcleary.com”Just thought I’d point that out before Neil did.
Is that an n.c. original? Awesome. Way to be, Neil!
“Down with sloganeering!”
Yeah, I started saying that after Brett wrote “Float Away”, his winter murder-ballad classic. I made the bumper sticker and felt all witty for a while there. Then along came this, droppin mad folk-nerd science and I had to kneel and admit defeat, Devil-Went-Down-To-Georgia style.
