I don't know whether to be pissed or not...

« on: August 10, 2010, 09:28:26 PM »

I'm in Jack In The Box and this is on the canned music mix (and I know it's canned, not a radio station):

I was a big fan of this band, even if I don't really like what the genre became. I pretty much wore out the grooves in the Socialisteuropian 12" single version I bought in Italy in 1981.

That it is now considered so ubiquitous as to be background music for the American fast food industry is a tad disheartening on the surface.

OTOH, maybe the underlying current of lost dreams and desolation is PERFECT for the American fast food industry and postmodern America in general.

FWIW, I don't remember which of these 2 the single was backed with, and it doesn't *goshdarn* matter...

wtf are you talking about? buying the right ff franchise on the correct street corner pretty much gives one the unfettered right to print currency. if that isn't the american dream, i'll eat sarah palin's *humid grotto*

Paraphrasing here:

Danny Noonan: 'I gotta go to college, or I'll end up working at Jack In The Box.'

Ty Webb: 'What's wrong with Jack In The Box? I own three Jack In The Boxes.'

DN: 'I notice you don't spend much time there'

TW: 'Not sure where they are'.
