“One just like the other, sin’s a good man’s brother, but is that right?
You tell me that I don’t, then I say I won’t, but then I might.”
Some more real stuff for you. If you’re going to test out a new stereo / want to wake up your roommate / seriously want to rock the heck out of your desk with make-believe drums, please listen to this underrated song. You can fool people too. “Oh listen, what a beautiful acoustic track this is…” WHAM! The guitar and bass enter like a Grand Funk train smashing into your temporal lobe. Funk, right? You could be really sweet and shotgun a beer to this, but let’s get real: if you’re listening to “Sin’s a Good Man’s Brother,” you should be hot-wiring a ‘67 Camaro and booking it to California (and if you’re already in California, stay there… why would you ever consider driving East?).
To summarize: most people throw on some Lil’-15-Cent-Cudi-Weezy-Bodyguard-Touches-Me to get pumped up — which is really cool, until you realize that, even if it had musical quality, it’s likely been ripped off. Honestly, if you think rhyming about “True Religion jeans” and “Grillz” is going to sound really revolutionary in 10 years, you’ve been horribly, horribly misled. Do you ever sit down on your Versace chaise and think: “Maybe I’m not that great… this seems too easy”? Because if you do, you should buy yourself a copy of Closer to Home by Grand Funk and confirm the fact that yes, you aren’t that great.
