Gnarles Barkley part 2
I wrote recently about my recent favourite music video with the bugs, and then had this conversation with a co-worker who turned out to be unusually wise beyond years:
Me: I love the video because it also shows that you don't quit. You're on the dog, you're rocking out, the dog scratches you off. Some of your bandmates are squashed. No problem, you're on the carpet, you're still rocking out. The lady tries to vacuum you. No problem, you lose a few band members and you keep running. You take the Marshall stack, load it onto your back and you keep rocking. You rock all the way across the kitchen floor.
I pause, a little breathless, then continue.
Me: You're still rocking. Nothing stops you.
Co-worker: The green smoke stops you.
Me: Yeah, that's true. The green smoke stops you.
