11. That's brilliant!

That's what David Cross should use for his next album.

[mdmc]

12. who is David Cross?

Do you know who Dan Bern is?

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

14. David Cross is a comedian / actor

most recently seen as Tobias in "Arrested Development". On his stand-up albums, he gives the tracks names which parody cliched routines and comedians and have nothing to do with the actual content (more often than not, anti-Republican & fundie routines). From "It's Not Funny":

6 My Child is Enthralling, Especially When It Says Something Unexpectedly Precocious Even Though It Doesn't Understand What It Just Said!
7 My Immigrant Mom Talks Funny!
8 When It Comes to Jews, Behavior One Might Perceive as Obnoxious and Annoying I Present as "Quirky" but It's Okay to Joke About It Because I, Myself, Am Jewish!
9 Pandering to the Locals!
10 Even Though I Am in the Closet, That Won't Prevent Me from Getting Cheap Laughs at the Expense of Homosexuals!
11 Weathermen Have Become, for the Most Part, Obsolete!
12 When All is Said and Done, I am Lonely and Miserable and Barely Able to Mask My Contempt for the Audience as I Trot Out the Same Sorry Act I've Been Doing Since the Mid-Eighties!

I hadn't heard of Dan Bern before, but I just looked him up on wikipedia & he sounds interesting. Where's a good place to start?

[mdmc]

15. I love arrested! Thanks for the info

As far as Dan Bern, I would google "Talkin Al Kidda Blues". My sister is a big fan. I'll send you some music if you want... peace!

[KamaAina]

23. But where are drums and space?

Actually, with the "Ungrateful Undead", it's more like "war drums" and "lost in space".

[mdmc]

24. plenty of war drums...
