DX7'S OF APPROVAL

For some stupid reason I was watching TV, and there was a cop show on, and this one cop was telling his boss that he was GAY. The Main Star Of The Show was standing by nodding with great acceptance. Right at that moment, WARM, MELLOW DX7's of Californian APPROVAL chimed in a slick Major 9th verneer, telling ME, the Viewer, that I agree with The Main Star's Point Of View. Well, that's NOT how I see it. I ain't gonna have sex with him, so why should I care if he's gay or not? Besides, he's a fuckin'cop! Doesn't that kind of make the whole point moot? I can tolerate queers, but not if they're cops!

Great Rants. You Really Do Tell It Like It Is, Popeye-X. I'll be a faithful reader of your updates. (I hope you still do update.) You have a splendidly spasmodic way with wordage. The images are...just perfect sometimes...like that thing about the TV show where you heard the character make some big confession which was followed by "mellow DX7s of approval". I lived in a warehouse-cum-recording-studio years ago, and I have seen/heard a Yamaha DX7 and its schmaltzy new-age preset sound samples. When I read that line, I knew EXACTLY what you meant by that. And it really made me think about the means by which the evil TV media-manipulators cause the viewers to follow the pre-ordained script of HOW THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO THINK about whatever "pressing issues" the show happens to be "tackling". My big peeve these days is that the government is actually paying the television industry to incorporate anti-drug messages into TV programs. This is unbelievable, and yet so believable given the current state of things.

Dr. Popeye X replies:
You and me are going to get along so well... BTW, I must be honest. Sometimes, I say stuff just to act cool, the fact is, I like faggots and cops very much, and I certainly do "approve" of both. But you see, I have to write what makes me seem the coolest, whether I actually agree with myself, or not. That's why disagreement is not tolerated, its a waste of time, since I clearly don't agree with myself. Anybody who knows anything knows that gays or cops are some of the coolest people you can ever meet, but PPX doesn't seem to need to know anything, so don't bother trying to change his mind about what he wrote. He might do it just because he likes you personally, but he would never cave in to any kind of sensible idea. They can take that approval and shove it up their mind's eye's ass.
BTW, everybody should go see Thraam
