I know. I need a haircut.
I hope that when I die, no one will choose to lament my passing on the rear window of their car. I understand that people will be devastated when I leave this world, (Rightfully so. I’m not going to be too happy about it either.) but please refrain from putting up a tribute on the back of your 2001 Toyota Tercel. Nothing says, “I want to immortalize this person’s memory”, like putting a sticker on an automobile that more than likely will be going into the crusher within ten years. “Joe Schmo, Forever in our hearts, and on the back of our Hyundai, until we trade it in.” If you feel that you must do this for me, put that decal on the back of a Rolls Royce. If you can’t afford one, put it on someone else’s.
I have decided that I will never click on another internet link that tries to draw me in like this. “A family uncovered this secret cave on their property. YOU WON’T BELIEVE what was inside.” Chances are, I will believe it. And you know what, it’s probably gonna be a let down. Unless it was Sasquatch. That wouldn’t be a let down. It wouldn’t be a great surprise, because I know they’re real, but it would definitely not be a letdown.
Another thought on stuff people put on their cars. Political bumper stickers. Is there a less reliable group of people than politicians? One day it’s like, yay, he stands for what I stand for. The next day it’s like, oh no, he stole campaign contributions, went to a brothel, got drunk, drove his car off of a bridge, and let the passenger drown. Also, when you go and try to sell your car, you are kind of alienating half of your would be buyers. Imagine being that guy in 1946 Germany, trying to sell his 13 year old Mercedes with the “Hitler / Himmler 34” sticker on the back bumper.
Sammy Hagar Van Halen was far superior to David Lee Roth Van Halen.
When someone says something like this to me, “Yeah man, this guy’s a great technical musician, he’s not really well known,,, he’s like, a real musician’s musician, man.” What I hear is, “Yeah dude, he makes music no one else wants to hear.”
When my kids don’t love a movie from my childhood as much as I do, I am really tempted to criticize the cartoons that they watch. Phineas and Ferb is awesome, though, so,,,, I’ve got nothin.
