Fellow JBC'ers,
Changing gears slightly, I thought I would throw a few of my
favorite Butcher lyrics out there & tell you why i enjoy them.
"GOTTA FIND OUT WHAT MAKES YOUR HEART SING
BECAUSE I FOUND OUT ALREADY WHAT MAKES MY HEART SING"
It took me far too long to figure out that meant I have to
give it to get it.
"WHEN SHE WAS 18 SUSIE SAW THE PATTI SMITH GROUP ON TV
AND SHE TOLD ME THAT IT CHANGED WHAT SHE WANTED TO BE"
I had similar feelings of inspiration after I first heard
Pat's music. It changed what I wanted to listen to & helped
an awkward teenager find identity.
"IT'S ONLY A RUMOUR- WHAT'S THIS I HEAR ABOUT YOU AND SUSIE?"
Pat & David's delivery was just plain passionate.
"THIS IS PARTYTIME
AND IT'S BETTER THAN A COLD BATH WITH SOMEONE YOU DISLIKE"
Disturbing, Descriptive, and Hilarious- Classic Butcher!
I met Pat Fish in June of '88 at a gig in Vancouver. I tell you
this only because it was one of the big thrills of my young
life. It's pretty damn cool to have a pint with your hero when
you're 18 years old. It's even cooler when he turns out to be
one Helluva nice guy. Keep on making music Pat because alot
of people out there keep on loving it.
I would love to hear about some of the good feelings other
Conspirators associate with Pat's music, if anyone is so
inclined.
Been singing this tune
since i heard Blank Frank,
Darren.
