Imagine by Tim Croes

A Perfect Circle just released their new CD, Imagine, with a cover of Lennon's song of the same name. Isn't it amazing how words written so far ago can be applied to today? Do you know why? It is simple. The Beatles were like no other band in the history of music. They started a revolution, not a revolution in music. A revolution in society!!!

Imagine

Growing up in the 60s and 70s when sex was cool and drugs were awesome. That is when my parents grew up and I wish I could go back in time. You know why it was so cool? Computers, cell phones, mp3 players, all that stuff didn't exist. People had their music and that was it. I mean look at the demise of television. Reality TV is the biggest load of bullshit that the media has ever produced and anyone associated with most reality television in general should be fired.

"Television, you are fired!!!" I say most because "Jack-Ass", "Curb Your Enthusiasm", and some shows on Fox make me laugh.

Imagine

E-mail, text messaging, and any type of communication that wasn't around five, ten, even fifteen years ago. What effect has it had on society? Society now is so fast, get it, get it, got it, phew I checked my e-mail on my cell phone and got my stock quote. That saved me at least fifteen minutes.

Why doesn't everyone just get some electric scissors? (Thank you David Cross for pointing that out) Do you ever think about growing up ten years ago when computers weren't as integrated into society as they are now? It would be so different. I mean I know sixteen-year-olds who have cell phones with a camera built into it that also checks their email. What is next on the technology scale? Virtual Cell phone sex!

Imagine

Next time you want to make a phone call to someone on their cell phone call their "landline" phone (what you don't have their landline phone? I guess you don't the person very well. What they don't have a landline phone? Oh that makes sense because who needs a phone at home!)
The cell phone is the worst thing since "The Atkins Diet" and it will never go away. (It is like porn on the internet, it is here to stay in a big way.)

Who knows if it really gives you cancer? If it does my whole generation will die of "brain cancer" by the time that we are 40. I wish I could rid of my cell phone, but I just signed a new contract and can't do it now because it would cost me 125 dollars and right now I have a combined 100 dollars in my two checking accounts.

Imagine

Take an hour, a day, a week, a weekend, a month, something and don't use anything electric just go outside and do something. Go on the porch and read a good book. What you don't have any books? Go to Barns & Noble and buy one then asshole! Don't buy a magazine, you will get distracted and not read it or just throw it in the bathroom for toilet time. I guarantee you will enjoy yourself. I love listening to music, but recently have been reading a lot and find it just as good. I mean when you read a 200 page hardcover book that is a commitment. It is not something that is going to be over in two hours like a crappy movie like "Shark tale"
