Re: [IRCA] Savage Nation (was 1650 fun)

[Milspec390@xxxxxxx]

 Savage no 'psycho' - entirely different & unpleasant critter. He seems 
amiably psychotic at times & for good reason, considering he observes what we 
laughingly call 'civilization'. 

As w/Gil, I like him, always have. Do his screams seem those of a broken 
hearted optimist? He desperately wants all to be right - as w/his fantasies re 
Life in the Fifties. 

Of course, all is not right. 

Nor were things right during the Fifties. Most eyes were misdirected at 
Elvis' pelvis & away from the Termites. Elvis became corpulent. He croaked. 
Termites bored in. They're winning.

S. decries media-obsession with 'starlets throwing up on themselves' - lotta 
execs pay dearly to see that & would gladly date said starlets - as 
distraction from real issues. Yet he doesn't realize 50's were same. Elvis vs. Mao, 
Chuck Berry vs. Chuck Starkweather, dare we mention legendary Ral Donner vs. 
Patrice Lumumba? Pop culture ever a fine diversion from subversion.

Could this be why Franz Lizst exclaimed in despondence: "The people love 
trash!"?

Dr. Young - whattabout Zyprexa?  Anti-psychotic, it paralyzes physically but 
leaves mind whirling & packs on 10#/wk. Given Savage's thing for food, might 
that blow his mind?

Also, didn't credit Otto & Dr. J. F. Parnell chat to 'repo man', c. 1984, 
Alex Cox.

We'll fix Dr. S. He might be good for TV. Mood swings make for compelling 
entertainment. Think: James Woods' character, Ned Trent, in 'The Specialist'.

                                                                              
Dr. Z.

 And if this building blows up, why, the whole neighborhood will
