I wish my parents were still alive so I could play them Lou Reed’s BERLIN and say
Don’t you think that this is the saddest album in the world & then I could play them
Brian Wilson’s SMILE and say Don’t you think that this is the happiest album of all
time and they wouldn’t say anything so I would clear my throat in that grown up
way and then say What do you think of that cute girl at the record counter with the
brown hair and the acne I bet if I asked her to marry me I bet she would say Yes
and you know what I am going to do that right now & they would say Who do
you think you are kidding? And I would say You, I’d be kidding you, if
you were here, I would be kidding you. Then I know exactly what they
would say, they would say Shut up, Harold which is a name that I hate
but I don’t mind when they say it because actually my name is Raul. |
