Does Propaganda

make you her Bitch?

Well does she?

i couldn’t help but ask myself my own question immediately after it crossed my mind. Like the chicken that crossed the road for whatever reason humor decrees, the reason the question crossed my mind was so i could be cold to those who could stand the freeze. Otherwise, i had planned on saying i found the question on a bumper sticker.

The question is not necessarily a response to current world-changing events. For my friends in Italy, Puerto Rico, Poland, Japan, Germany, Russia, England, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Columbia, France, Holland, Iceland, Chile, Brazil, Denmark, not China, Belize, Argentina, Spain, Japan, South Afrika & New Zealand, the world-changing events i’m arrogantly speaking of are the Presidential elections as of ’08 gone though & done in the U.S. of Amerika. No, the question is a general response deserving attention because… well, because i don’t want to be anybodies’ Bitch. Not even if that body is in the Abstract.

Of course i can look over my life & see how throughout the years i wore a shiny, jeweled leash. Just look at the music i listened to in ’98 or the clothes i wore in ’03. What about the color of my hair in ’82? Or the drugs i did in ’76 for that matter. i said ’76 not ’66… the drugs of ’66 were the bomb!!! Whether it was a be-in or an Acid Test, the times have never been so… so… ’66. Idealism had some real roots then. If the now then was unsatisfying, then wasn’t the now of the future a speckle of Hope? Yeah, i agree “nostalgia stings the nose with stink” so let’s age that nostalgia home.

As for the Abstract Propaganda i’d like to say, “Now i know better.” Fitting-in is okay to get by, i’d say, because nothing can neuter or spade my mind’s fertility. “Are you losing your pregnancy or Vitamin C?” i’m trying not to bake my family goods with all the radioactive mediums of communication out there. Lead underwear & helmets aren’t cheap to come by, you know. But it’s necessary, quite law, to jump into the peg hole. Skip stones on the lake of social consciousness or skip fish? What am i, an ad agency?

So, after all is said & done, then criticized then said & done & criticized in cycles, the joke is… on You! HA-Haaa ha- ha-haaaa hew HA! All this banter dissin’ Propaganda is really just a love letter. i & Propaganda are friends. i can’t escaper her no matter how hard i try. i guts to eat, drink & be merry in her presence– even if its pretend. Just talking about Propaganda, makes me mad with delight-fright. Like they say “Bad Publicity is Good Publicity.” He ha-ha haa ah hA haAaAaaaA…

You & Me & Propaganda forever!!
