You’ve heard of the great rock ‘n’ roll swindle? How about the great swindle of ’17? Turning on the news would be very scary save for the fact that we now have VICE News. Who would have thought our rich, Ivy league party pals would make it cool to watch the downfall of the United States?
Preposterous I say! But preposterous is how I feel! Cheated, depressed, unmotivated, and lethargic. Well maybe? Maybe I am a liar? Is this this fake news and a fake hour of songs? I am faking being unrealistic, over sensitive, and moody?
I say, let Idelic Hour begin—and let buckets of rain cover our canyon.
Real news: Praying our house don’t become “driftwood” running down the canyon.
