The best part is Landon’s about-face:

“Wasn't offended, but I was just kind of wondering "What does this have to do with Objectivism... at all?"” [Landon, 10:35 am]

“Giving you the big straight-edge
While I'm beating you with a leg of lamb” [Landon, 6:27pm]

Landon, that chorus fucking rocks.

I wonder if I should post my Hurricane Katrina version of the aristocrats joke on here once I finish it?

Heh, I actually like Luke's response. There is a lesson, there. Reminds me of a line from a song..."Forbidden fruit, rotting on the vine."

It's fromn one of my old bands.  We called our style "Scum Rock" and "Porn Rock."  I didn't write that song in particular but I sang the chorus on stage often enough.

Downside is I was kind of trying to point out the life I left when I became an objectivist and I think I failed because I posted one of our more tame/objectivist friendly songs.

Sometimes I see slightly Objectivist themes behind the anger, bitterness and pornography.  My bandmate stayed a little mellower and more pornographic when he wrote, my stuff was usually just angry and sarcastic.

one I did write is here.

Down With Substance in Music

About politics and your pathetic love life on and on you drone
Sell your instruments for the coffee house is your home
You always cry because you can't get laid
Shut the hell up and hire a topless maid

Fuck your ass eat your cunt
DOWN WITH SUBSTANCE IN MUSIC
Kill some kids worship satan
DOWN WITH SUBSTANCE IN MUSIC

Lover of women animals and minorities
Give it up now it won't work you won't get no nookie
If you wanted to preach you should've joined the ministry
Because it makes your music as painful as dentistry 

Fuck your ass eat your cunt
DOWN WITH SUBSTANCE IN MUSIC
Kill some kids worship satan
DOWN WITH SUBSTANCE IN MUSIC

DOWN WITH SUBSTANCE IN MUSIC
DOWN WITH SUBSTANCE IN MUSIC
DOWN WITH SUBSTANCE IN MUSIC
DOWN WITH SUBSTANCE IN MUSIC

I GIVE UP JUST GIVE ME THE FUCKING SPICE GIRLS!!!

I wrote this in reference to the local Straight-Edge Hardcore scene, musically some of the best stuff in Indy but their annoying leftwing politics and preachy antics annoyed me.

You're right. It's a problem that most of us have had all our lives. Music that's exciting & passionate yet riddled with somewhat distasteful messages. Do you chuck the baby out with the bath-water? I simply decided to trust my sense of life and realised that focusing on the power & the passion was good enough. Why the hell else would I have spent so much time listening to Midnight Oil, Husker Du/Sugar, et al?

I did like that imagery of the leg of lamb, though :-)

I try not to throw it all out, just my active involvement with the parts that bother me.

I can go back and still enjoy the stuff I was doing back then, but I keep my guard up so that I don't let nostalgia get in the way of remembering the parts that bothered me and that I'm glad to be rid of.

But if you liked those entries you might like some of the other stuff the band did or the stuff Mike (my old bandmate and the writer of eating a vegan) is doing on his own now.
