Lunge Acts

Thoughts on the "I Miss the Lounge Axe" Facebook group: Move on, people. I mean, I had my fun there too, but my twenties weren't my entire life, and some of these folks sound like action figures bereft of a playset.

"Hey, man! Shut up! I totally drank whisky sours there the night Albini came in and rode around on David Yow's shoulders. Then they had a chicken fight with Jeff Tweedy and Liz Phair over who was more awesome. Then Jim Carroll came in, and after crawlng through the muck and wadded up toilet paper covering the filthy bathroom floor, I was just barely able to touch the hem of his garment, curing my scrofula. It all happened on the single night I got to sit on the arm of that picturesquely shitty couch. I was totally a part of the scene man!"

Sorry. Mr. Dan Kelly does not imbibe his nostalgia in huge greasy gulps.
