What inspired the inclusion of the logorrheic rap? Surely the first and last Top-40 hit that mentions "a bottle of kaopectate." Seems fitting I suppose, since it was the stated intention by the "baby of the bunch" to wiggle my behind, but, then resorting to using "TNT" on the same behind is at cross-purposes with the Kaopectate. Wriggles is soooo confused now.... On the other hand if the "stinky chicken" rap is meant to represent the seething wriggling mass of narratives writhing about in an attempt to make sense of the times back then, just as they are writhing today, then, perhaps I get it, as in, art imitates life while history raps-on but doesn't quite repeat itself and all that stuff. Janus, like so much from the pre-paternal-mono-sky-god days is a 'mother' lode of psychological wisdom, was the first(?) to explicitly recognize our tendency to gravitate towards binary decision points in 'krisis' to such an extent we no longer see beyond the self imposed either-or. Well, that's how I spin it, but either way, size-your-bets to perverse your capital, don't take song lyrics to literally, and you'll still be around to play come the next new year.
