This article is absolutely hilarious! I rarely laugh out loud when I'm reading stuff, but this line just got me.
"Because I’m overeducated and insecure, I package my banal observations in semantic finery, so I feel a kinship with lines like ‘‘Earthling inserts to chalice the green cutchie/Groundation soul finds trust upon smoking hose,’’ which is a fancy way of saying ‘‘a guy smokes some weed.’’ The thesis of ‘‘Dopesmoker’’ may boil down to ‘‘smoke dope,’’ but first-time listeners should be forgiven for wondering if it’s actually an anthropological study of Qedarite tribes in the pre-Christian Sinai Peninsula."
Totes hilare. Any song with lyrics that complex and earth shattering, deserves a listen. Plus - metal. Ya. Rocking out to the epic tune now!
