VLVL2 (1-5): Summative Thoughts (addickdum)

[joeallonby]

"I was born in the house that my father built....."

Aykroyd's portrayal of Nixon as a decrepit vampire was hilarious. Almost as
funny as Anthony Hopkins in the Oliver Stone movie.

"Fuck 'em! Fuck 'em! Bomb the shit out of them!"

Also check out the album (CD, ok I'm middle-aged) "Ultraprophets Of the
Psychick Revolution" by the extremely odd band Christmas. Their "Richard
Nixon Sees You" is downright bizarre but really entertaining.


>>He's a trilobite with a cast iron mask
>>He's the Anti-Christ with a five o'clock shadow
>>Tricky Dick is sick with prickly paranoia
>>As a President he's a great imposter
>>He's a thousand years old but he looks pretty good
>>For a prehistoric telepathic fossil
>>He's a wicked man with an evil plan
>>And he'll stop at nothing just to get his way

>>Richard Nixon sees you
>>Richard Nixon sees through you

>>And he sends his wife to the taxidermist
>>Now she stands resplendent in her plain cloth coat
>>As her mummified remains are wheeled around

It gets weirder. There's a lot of babbling about his barbecues never making
the news at the White House backyard baby roast fiestas. It even contains
some samples of actual Nixon speeches taken wildly out of context. "I was
thinking that today is the greatest day in the history of the world since
the creation!"

They were on IRS and were once matched up on a tour with the Bangles.
Apparently, the Bangles audience didn't know what to make of them and they
got tossed off the tour after some bizarre onstage behavior. After a brief
and disastrous attempt at dominating the Las Vegas rock scene, Christmas
morphed into the even stranger Combustible Edison and attempted to dominate
the Rhode Island lounge scene. If you can find "Ultraprophets", buy it. The
Nixon song is a killer, but the other stuff is good fun too.
