Pod Person

Yesterday I finally became one of the Pod People.


So yeah: fare thee well, Discman. There's nothing left to say.

The Pod slimmed my bank account by $217 or so. Got a black-colored classic, which can brook up to 30,000 songs. 30,000! Not bad at all.

AND TONIGHT IS THE CONCERT! I hope all goes well. On that note, the Song of the Day is the very first Pogues song I ever had the pleasure of hearing: "If I Should Fall From Grace with God."

The song is also quite fitting what with this being the Lenten season.

You know, the way the evangelical right talks about them, you'd swear that God and Jesus were neoconservatives. Which I doubt, although these evangelicals have them on speed-dial so maybe they're telling the truth. If that's the case, then I fell from grace a looong time ago. And considering the amount of respect neoconservatives have for habeas corpus, I probably won't even be given a chance to plead my case before St. Peter once I've shuffled off my mortal, pimpled coil. I'll immediately be punted into the pit of fire.

But whatever. I'll be in good company. Maybe I'll get to converse with Paine, Mencken, Twain, Sinclair Lewis, among others. As far as I'm concerned, anybody who hasn't engaged in heresy isn't worth a damn.

Anyway, here's the song:
