The Pop Oracle song for February 1st, 2015.
Everyone’s pretty excited about the Super Bowl, the glossy face of American Americanism. Commercialism. Consumption. Competition.
I usually don’t care enough to even know it’s happening but living in Olympia and having family and friends in Massachusetts it’s everywhere I look today, and were I not in the final stages of a ten day fast, I might go out to a bar and watch my fellow domesticated primates losing their shit over the confrontation on TV.
Instead, I’m here in my temple of solitude drinking salt water and listening to Rickie Lee burn the hypocrisy down to the ground revealing…well, you listen and tell me.
