Main Lines, Blood Feasts, and Bad Taste - Lester Bangs [156]
nuclear silo buried 40 miles underground in North Dakota, which only goes to show that in spite of manifold and pervasive evidence to the contrary it still is not all that hard to be an out-and-out all-American deviant at least in the eyes of Dom ‘n’ Mad in the year of our bored gumsgnashings 1977 so I hope all you ponque kidleets out there take proper inspiration from this twice-told talke of Helen Wheels and stop feeling so goddamn sorry for yourselves that both me and Phast Phred-die15 would just as soon put you to death at this point. Either that or tie you to your high chairs and make you listen to The Idiot for the next eight years, by which time we’ll have another prezidunce who hopefully will be a Republican and a criminal as well so we can all relax and go back to feeling cynical about the basic fact of being alive and everything else from there on up and not have to bear the onerous brunt of thinking that maybe rock ‘n’ roll and you and me and all the other war-pos are not dead after all so things might actually get better if we pulled our paging fingers out our buttholes and got around to applying ourselves again like we did starting in 1963 or thereabouts as soon as that jock creep JFK caught a skullful of era's end and everybody thenceforth went berserk till Nixon got in but have ya ever noticed how even berserkness travels in cycles, shit it's almost enough to make ya go back to throwing the I Ching. Notice I didn’t say where you should throw it; I threw mine out the window after it told me I was gonna marry a short blonde girl I went to high school with in 1963 when there were no blondes in my high school and all the vergingly verdant womens there were six feet eight inches tall which meant I could eat pussy without having to fall on my knees which did a hell of a lot for my masculine ego which by the way reminds me if Cherie Currie is reading this I’d love to fuck you even though I know you’re nothing but a stupid bitch who thinks Quaaludes are the apogee of Western technological civilization, I’d like to tongue your clit till you screamed and then make you suck my cock till I bled joy and then I’d kiss your pouty lips just once just to show how sensitive and compassionate I am and then I’d bite your pathetically teeny titties and maul and twist ‘em around with my practiced mouth until you screamed louder better in real nonschmaltzy unromantic pain kinda like a Russian intellectual being tortured in a Soviet mental institution for writing poetry that didn’t hype the proletariat and then I’d hunch crawl and maybe even grovel down trailing drool across the pale tender white breath
