Self-Unaware Redundant Googleplex Meta-Parody

= Gleeful asininity

Though it occurred after my band’s denoument, this clip kinda summarizes the strains of weirdity that went through our little experience, circa 1986-1996. All the elements are here, that were there:


Classic rock as an anchor
Classic rock antithetical to 80s “pop”
Meta-parody
Meta-parody for meta-parody’s sake (a.k.a. googleplex meta-parody)
Awesome live performing
Something that only we “got”
But we didn’t know we “got” it when we “got” it (self-unaware)
And it’s funny to boot! (if you “get” it, that is)

That’s why I love this video.




Or it could just be a stupid clip.

There’s a fine line between genius and stupidity, fine words of wisdom from This is Spinal Tap, that I’ve lived my life by.
