On a pop line
“Yesterday’s got nothing for me.” –Axl Rose
Was thinking of writing about textual literature today, but I have been listening a lot to a Guns N Roses CD a lot lately. Eventually it seems to disintegrate into vulgarity, anger, and stupidity, but the first few songs like the one the line from taken is from seem good to me.
I think the song the above line is taken from is about the danger of nostalgia. Memory can be a trap. There is a line from a recent movie that “regret is a disease.”
I said this to a casual buddy lately: “I don’t really like heavy metal as as genre, but sometimes it does hit the spot.” I feel that way about Guns N Roses and a few other heavy metal bands.
