It’s a pretty common knowledge that the NFL of the National Football League can also stand for Not For Long. The point being that the violence of the league lends to promising careers ending prematurely, and with those injuries, good teams can quickly become bottom feeders.
Well, the weather in Illinois in March can be the same. Just this week we’ve had snow. We’ve had rain storms, including one storm where it was raining mud. We’ve had wind. We’ve had calm. We’ve had days that reached into the 60s and maybe even low 70s, and then next day highs in the 30s. Yesterday afternoon we were working in the yard building a bunk for our new pony. Today, it’s damp and cold and raining.
Not for long, indeed.
The same could be said for this song. The first minute is spoken word conversation. Then it switches to a cover of “Love Me Two Times,’ with alternative lyrics.
After a brief spoken-word interlude, the song speeds up into a snappy punk jam.
