maybe I'm taking it the wrong way

subtitled: artistic license

The other day, I was listening to 102.1 FM here in Toronto and they played "Comin' Home" by City and Colour. I had already heard "Save Your Scissors" and although I don't know who Alexis is or why she's on fire, I thought it was a nice enough song. But I was put off by this lyric in "Comin' Home"
I've been to Lincoln, Nebraska
and hell you know it ain't worth shit
I've never been to Lincoln, but I think it's pointless and somewhat immature for the song's protagonist to put a place down like that. Then again, the performer hails from a band whose Internet domain name is "the only band ever." I shouldn't expect too much.

The only other character I know of that might dislike Lincoln is Aurora Greenway. Her daughter died there, in a hospital room, in Terms of Endearment.

Haven't heard Coming Home yet. But Save Your Scissors has a line something like "everyone falls in love with me". Bit of an ego? Too bad the damn tune is catchy.

I just stay away from the damn radio and those noisy kids.

Now get me a cup of tea.

When I look at the pictures of Alexis on Fire, I think of Muppet Babies. In their case, they could be the Barenaked Ladies Babies. Cartoonish. 7 a.m. Saturdays.

I have no choice but to listen to them constantly, damned teenagers.

Ooh! Terms Of Endearment! Guess if I sobbed my heart out watching that or not.

Glad you're back, Rouge. xo

My mom's from Lincoln. And yeah, there are many reasons why she moved to California.

One of Thistle's secrets shames: She has never seen Terms of Endearment.

I didn't remember Debra Winger dying in Nebraska. I remember the smart mouth kid saying, "Texas is the greatest state."

I don't know who Alexis is either but what I do know is that I never have patience of radio stations. I listen to them all until I get sick of them and then switch. However, if you like this song maybe I should at least hear it, and switch back to 102.1 for a second.

And I don't know about Canadia, but here in Uhmurrka, FM radio is of the devil... And not the hot, sexy devil, either.

Some roads may lead to Lincoln, but in "Lloyd World" all roads lead to Shirley MacLaine!

Um, as a gay man a lot of people might feel that you are always "taking it the wrong way."

Stop making God cry for chrissakes.
