"Give me the Chi Chi." I love that motherfucker for that reason alone. It’s a Ron Livingston quote form the movie, Swingers, and yes, it is about the great Mr. Rodriguez.

That's not a metaphor. The post ends after the also frighteningly engrossing YouTube video for me. <br /><br />I read a Jerzy Kosinski book, looking at the bibliography and Amazon reviews, it might have been THE DEVIL TREE. It was right after I saw the movie BEING THERE, which is of course awesome. THE DEVIL TREE wasn't nearly as humourous and felt very dated, like the not-nearly-as-awesome sibling of Joan Didion or something, so I didn't pursue further. But now I want to give PINBALL a try.

And I imagine there are metalheads in caves, and basements and above guitar shops. But what can i say, I dont really have much control over what i write, i try to excert control over it, but for the most part all it takes is a little mention of say, an architect and zombie real estate developers and lawyers, and suddenly the story starts to veer in a different direction. Though I am pretty sure, John, that the Band of Bros is not the one in the mini-series, nor the one in the spielberg war movie where matt damon is the only survivor of the brothers. But who knows, and we'll see, maybe the metalhead will end up in a cave or back in his mothers basement after he looses his job or something. And maybe it is all happening in WWII... oh, and what does "Put the pin in Chi-Chi" mean? Is that a reference to the great puerto rican golfer Chi Chi Rodriquez?

For a quiet out of the lime light guy, everybody knows his story.<br /><br />Remember in the 80's the grammy winning artists who made up the two man act of Milli Vanilli were outed as merely a good looking duo who couldn't sing a note? Well I have the 12" disco single for that hit and I love it <i>totally in context</i> of the story behind it. I heard those two guys singing once and it's a good thing they found some studio doubles let me tell you.
