Talking Point Blues
The year is 2004, the 213th anniversary of the passage of the first amendment. I bring this up because it is in danger of being effectively abolished for the first time in my life. People from Howard Stern to Bono are being swept up in the FCC’s dragnet led by Michael Powell and his right wing consorts. This has swung Stern to the left, which is actually good, because I used to be so offended by his political rantings I had to change the station and hope I remembered to turn it back in time for Lord the of the Anal Ring Toss. Now I don’t have to do that.
2004 is more important because it is the 20th anniversary of Motley Crue’s debut album, Too Fast for Love, a blistering eruption of leather, sex, and electric guitar. Besides its lasting contribution to cock rocking, it may also have something to say about the state of the world- even today. So to people like Powel Jr. and Sen. Sam Brownback, I quote a line from an unreleased song recorded during the Love sessions, “What’s right for you ain’t right for everyone”, and to Stern, I quote the chorus, “Stick to yer gunz!”

Little Cube News is a blog about all the things that occur inside of Nathan's brain. That's movie reviews and drink recipes (mostly) accompanied by the sound of a pinball machine. Lots of people seem to find it amusing, from those who like funny things to those who like tragically unfunny things trying too hard. If you are either one of "those" people, then thank you for reading and feel free to send a pic of yourself for the LCN...
