O.k. For a moment, I got really excited about a Boom! Studio press release talking about a new celebrity comic book creator. This would have actually put yesterday’s Stephen Baldwin news to shame.
BOOM! Studios is proud to announce LAST REIGN: KINGS OF WAR, a new four-issue mini-series created by director Walt Becker and written by FALL OF CTHULHU’s Michael Alan Nelson
So for a moment, I read “Walt” as “Walter.” That would have meant Walter Becker was writing comics.
Who’s Walter Becker? Oh, for shame.
Still not ringing any bells?
How about:
I have a friend in town, he’s heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don’t know
And you could have a change of heart
or
Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it won’t be there no more
Any major dude will tell you
or
Five names that I can hardly
Stand to hear
Including yours and mine
And one more chimp who isn’t here
I can see the ladies talking
How the times are getting hard
And that fearsome excavation
On Magnolia Boulevard
or
Hey Nineteen
That’s ‘Retha Franklin
She don’t remember
The Queen of Soul
It’s hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I’m crazy
But I’m just growing old
or
Show biz kids making movies
Of themselves you know they
Don’t give a fuck about anybody else
or
Clean this mess up else we’ll all end up in jail
Those test tubes and the scale
Just get them all out of here
Is there gas in the car
Yes, there’s gas in the car
I think the people down the hall
Know who you are
or
We both ran out of small talk
The connection seemed to go dead
I was about to say, hey, have a nice life
When she touched my hand and said:
You know I just had this great idea
This could be very cool
Why don’t we grab a cab to my hotel
And make believe we’re back at our old school
Yeah, this whole post was really just an excuse to post a lot of Steely Dan verses.
