SONGS IN THE KEY OF CRAIGSLIST: “Guitar Hero”

Our latest song with lyrics completely from found Craigslist posts is up. And this one’s an 80’-style rock ballad!

DVD/DVR #21 - I’m spending my Saturday watching mediocre comedy movies to remind myself that even incredibly talented people fail sometimes.

DVD/DVR #20 - I think this the movie when Ben Stiller cameos officially went from “annoying” to “fast-forwarding.”

MOVIE #5 - I’d watch Jeff Bridges and Robert Downey Jr. have a conversation about anything.  Watching them have that conversation in technologically advanced metal suits is just a bonus.

BOOK #9 - Sadly, I had never read any Vonnegut before. He may be my new favorite author. (Only Timequake will tell!) I especially love this passage: “He came slightly unstuck in time, saw the late movie backwards, then forwards again. It was a movie about American bombers in the Second World War and the gallant men who flew them. Seen backwards by Billy, the story went like this: American planes, full of holes and wounded men and corpses took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France, a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards, sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for the wrecked American bombers on the ground, and those planes flew up backwards to join the formation. The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk fires, gathered them into cylindrical steel containers, and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The containers were stored neatly in racks. The Germans below had miraculous devices of their own, which were long steel tubes. They used them to suck more fragments from the crewmen and planes. But there were still a few wounded Americans, though, and some of the bombers were in bad repair. Over France, though, German fighters came up again, made everything and everybody as good as new. When the bombers got back to their base, the steel cylinders were taken from the racks and shipped back to the United States of America, where factories were operating night and day, dismantling the cylinders, separating the dangerous contents into minerals. Touchingly, it was mainly women who did this work. The minerals were then shipped to specialists in remote areas. It was their business to put them in the ground, to hide them cleverly, so they would never hurt anybody ever again.”

I’m obsessed with the ubiquitous anonymity of The Verizon Guy.  He’s gotta be one of the most famous people in America - and nobody knows his name.  Is there anyone else like that? Also - his name is Paul Marcarelli.  Thanks Wikipedia!
