That affliction is certainly not unique to NY, and I doubt Tucson is immune to it. I agree with you, though, there are people everywhere who are searching "for things to offend them". There are probably even some folks who find The Ventures' lyrics misogynistic. |

There's a great legal Soul Coughing live show download where he opens with
"are you ready to ROCK? Then rock we shall!"
He's very loose and funny. Wish I'd been able to catch them back then.

Had this track as a 5, don't know what I was thinking. Apparently this song grows on you like nobody's business. I really dig the lyrics and story.

This sunken-voiced song is quite a rockin' jam-uh
and I think it's well worth cranking it up loud-uh
and I'm-uh tap tap tappin' it out-uh
on the top top top of my desk-uh
Yeah for sure Sunken Eyed Girl is a bit weird-uh
but I like it! and I'm still way in love with RP!

I think this song is really about drug addiction, and how it makes it impossible to connect with anyone on any level that matters. The woman he's talking to is unreachable, mostly because he's in his own world of misery and dependence. Check the lyrics.
Bob Dylan - now there's a misogynist.
Sorry Gurls, this is a gay song about a gay couple so there is no "gyny" there at all to worry about.
Big sillies.

2 points for "sunken-eyed girl", "Haughty melodic" and various other poetic handsprings. 4 for music = 6. minus one because it is irritating. 5

The misognyny comments are completely ridiculous. I have been listening to Doughty since early Soul Coughing days and never have I ever considered anything of the kind and really don't have much of an idea where you get that from. I saw Doughty in a small club a couple of years back, he is an excellent performer and if you get the chance to check him out, I highly recommend. Though, it can never top the SC show I went to in '97.

That would make you about 358. Maybe you have a chance yet. |
