I refer to an interview the gave thus: http://www.clownvid.com/etc-2010/2011/3/15/insane-clown-poss... (shameless plug)
In that interview, Violent J (one half of the Insane Clown Posse) verbally pointed out my statement when he is offered a book that, in the interviewer's mind, would answer the question: "Fuckin' magnets, how do they work!?"
They are aware of the scientific observations, and presumably agree to the validity, yet they, for reason of their own merit, justly decide not to indulge.
I would make a selfish request, not to take away from their proven and successful prowess, that they educate themself, if for anything, to spite the haternation. I am in Love with Insane Clown Posse, and would not prove it otherwise.
Holla!
The correction draws you into the mindset of a killa fuckin' clown writing lyrics in criticism of an alleged killa fuckin' scientist abusing his/her socially granted authority.
Sure, Scientists can "give him shit", that's fine as it is, but in my opinion, in the corrected form, Shaggy expresses a bit of anger and resentment: "gettin' me pissed".
The corrected, to me, conveys an active and growing defiance. whereas the misquote suggests a passive complacency.
Rather than accepting allegedly fraudulent claims (in this case, the infamous inner workings of magnets), I believe he is offering an allusion of menace to the scientific community members that would mindfully work to subdue his demonstrated and consciously limited, yet poignant, understanding of the nature of reality.
Although some might consider that in poor taste and perhaps ignorant, I believe he is expressing the autonomous freedom of thought awarded to us all by virtue of birth.
Science is a bliss I truly appreciate and I long for keen minds to show me new and exciting discoveries where I can offer in kind in my own studies.
Indeed an interesting conversation. Hope more of y'all chime in on this.
Bustin' out semantics in this bitch.
