161 - Suburban Transpondency

Dec 1, 2010

Dig! The hipster is man who's in the know, grasps everything, is alert.  

  In the vortex of the future of that cool tomorrow land,
  we'll all wig there, play a gig there, in that great non-union
  band. Scooba doo and Scooba daba. Life's a gass and life's a
  grabba. Hip is hip and groove is groovy. Life's a wild Fellini
  movie. When that hairy fist of silence slugs us, bugs us, puts us
  down... hmm, we'll all wing it, we'll all sing it: Guy Lombardos
  back in town!
