With thoughts of Vincent van Gogh, born on this day in 1853.
“An artist needn’t be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.” -vvg
“Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.” -vvg
“One may have a blazing hearth in one’s soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.” -vvg
Said Winston Churchill: “Democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that have been tried.”
On the morning following the House’s historic vote on national health care reform legislation, I’ll let the good people at The Onion address all the disappointed constituents out there:
Syracuse feels like a better team than Ohio St., but I just can’t bet against Evan Turner (if that makes any sense). I’m vexed. Oh well, f**k it. I always lose these things.
In closing, we do recognize that without you, Bad Company, we wouldn’t have Stillwater — and that’s worth noting. But we also recognize that Stillwater isn’t even real, yet “Fever Dog” is a better song than anything you guys ever recorded. That’s right: you guys aren’t as good as a pretend band. That’s also worth noting.
Now, back to the song in question. Beyond being a blatant rip-off, it’s also self-titled. Who does that? A self-titled album, okay. But a self-titled song? Unless you’re name is Wilco, you’re just walking into a hornets’ next with a stunt like that.
