are they tourists or are they just drunk?

I guess it's true... you hang around long enough there's no telling what might happen. For instance, this afternoon at work I heard one of the local commercial rock stations playing Fugazi. If you know anything about commercial rock radio and/or know Fugazi, let's all pause and savor the oddness of that. I mean, even the DJ on-air felt the need to contextualize the moment by doing a couple minute talk intro explaining who Fugazi was and so on. I wish I could tell you what they segued out of Fugazi to (it was "Waiting Room") into, but someone else came in and changed the station in the middle of the song.

(And, no, I'm far too old and cynical to think that it actually means anything that Fugazi got some love from commercial rock radio. I remember way back whenever (probably around the time Give 'Em Enough Rope came out) thinking that the world would be a different place if the Clash could sell out Shea Stadium. And then, only a few years later, they did. And the world wasn't a terribly different place after all. )

I remember us thinking, back in the day, that the world would be a different place when the Butthole Surfers came out on cd. And now look where we are.
