Here's A Guilty Pleasure

Saturday morning. Got me a can of Pepsi and a Johnny Cash special on cable. Ok Here's a guilty pleasure we all have. Ok well maybe I have it. I like to see couples arguining in public. I'm not alone, I've spoken to people and others agree. Tonight I witnessed two. Two of my favorites. I saw a husband and wife in a parked car arguing outside a bar. I love it because they are doing conversation kung fu waving thier arms. Then I saw a personal favorite, one I like to call "Turkey Day" (named after this usually taking place on road trips around the holidays). A family, Mom Dad kids in the back, all erupting in a Volvo. They were stopped at a light and you know it's getting intense in that hot box when the Dad has to turn around, impaired by his seat belt to show the kids he's serious when he's yelling at them. I love it. While there's nothing as fun as actually hearing what people are arguing about, it's also mysterious to see them behind that glass, imagining the dumb shit they are wasting oxygen about.

The book is going good. I'm almost done with it. I'm up to like page 150 something. Hopefully I'll have it done this weekend. I was going to blog about it half way through which is about now but I'm debating just waiting to the end and giving a wrap up.

Picked up the new Q magazine this month. James had an advance copy from England and told me about the free book it came with that has rock and roll trivia. Here's a tidbit for ya'll :

BACKMASKING

Do records really contain secret backwards messages?

Roger Waters put a backwards message on 'Empty Spaces' (on The Wall) Saying'Congratulations you've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chatford'; ELO's 'Fire on High' has a secret message saying 'The music is reversible but time is not - turn back! Turn back! Turn back!; andChristian rockers Petra recorded a message on their song 'Judas Kiss' that said: 'What are you looking for the devil for, when you ought to be looking for the Lord?'
