Kacey Musgraves - "Merry Go 'Round"



I really love this song for one simple fact; despite it's pop root,
it has a very dark and real vibe. It's positively revelatory.

It perfectly captures the dark side of small town life; suffocating the
best parts of individuals and free thought with outdated notions, hollow
half-lives, conformity, collectivism, falsehoods, duplicity, and all the
cultish foolishness of this modern world's crutches and clutches.

"You can have all the pretense of love and affection in the world...so
long as you give up yourself and adhere to these demands!"

Storm Warning: Hurricane Crazy


We still have a long road ahead in this country,
as the fanatics and conservatives are hardened
in their resolve to oppose education, advancement,
equality, rational thought, progression, or even
consideration of any view other than their own.

Tuesday was a good start, but these people
are not going away, and now they're doubly pissed.
(They weren't stable when they were in charge!)

If you know how to think for yourself,
you better watch your back.
