Going to the beach
Thursday, May 31st, 2007In the words of one of my favorite poets:
somebody once asked
could I ‘spare some change for gas;
I need to get myself away from this place’
I said ‘yeah,
what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
and we could all use a little change’
–Steve Harwell
Summer is here (not technically) and I want to ‘get away’ too, and go to the beach. I’d like to go to a private one, not one with cigarettes in the sand. I’d also love to go to a pool, or to start leaving the house regularly.
(Also, I erased the entire history on my computer so it wouldn’t remember that I Googled “Smashmouth” and then spent ten minutes on their site, and discovered amazing facts such as this one from their Frequently Asked Questions section:
Q: What cover songs have Smash Mouth played live?
A: “Runnin’ with the Devil”, “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” and “Jamie’s Cryin’” by Van Halen, “Jump Around” by House of Pain, “Gone” by *NSYNC, “We Got The Beat” by The GoGos. There are probably more.
I wonder just how many times they’ve been asked that question. Ten, ten thousand? Ten million? Infinite?)
