My favorite band on the planet right now is Goose. These five boys from Connecticut are making amazing music. This is one of their newer songs that they just started playing this year.
I was listening to it yesterday and threw it on my Halloween mix. Then I really listened to the words, and I was shocked. I’m sure they’re not talking about our favorite group of mutant supervillains like Fauci, Bourla, or Birx, but man, they just might have hit the nail on the head.
You might have seen him walking
In a thoughtful Sunday stew
Beware my friends you caught a glimpse
But he’s always watching you
He operates by night and day
With precision on his brow
His patients are the victims
To the blinding spell of doubtWhen he comes a knocking
You best not let him in
He’ll hang his feet upon your couch
And sell you medicine
He’ll creep and crawl along your floors
With resentful residue
You’ll slip and fall and crack your head
He’ll blame it all on youDoctor doctor
Won’t you let me be
Please don’t you blame
Those evil tricks on me
Cause I been down
And I’m sure I know it’s you
That’s been sneaking around
Inside my head
With nothing else to doSilence is the silhouette
Of his viral retinue
He’s slinking slyly thru the town
With his vile unbridled crew
They’re crouching on the rooftops
Watching every move
When you find yourself in silence
They’ve got their hands on youDoctor doctor
Don’t you let me be
Please don’t you play
Those evil tricks on me
Cause I been down
And I’m sure I know it’s you
That’s been sneaking around
Inside my head
With nothing else to doFaithful to the laws
Set forth by pride’s decree
The doctor has a knack for
Sowing seeds of jealousy
If you think you’ve got control
Of your primal destiny
Just look out for the doctor’s
Primeval specialtyDoctor doctor
Won’t you let me be
Please don’t you play
Those evil tricks on me
Cause I been down
And I’m sure I know it’s you
That’s been sneaking around
Inside my head
With nothing else to do
To do
Do
Might be something to that... In our experience they were one of the precious few bands who kept their heads down, didn't cater to the pathetic #stayhomestaysafe Facebook Karen crowd and played live wherever and whenever they could when almost no one else was. There are bands we've followed for years and spent a stupid amount of money on tix and travel for that we will never give another dime. It was one thing to ignore their bloviating during election season but the covid nonsense was a bridge too far.
GOOOOOOOOOOSE (not boo)
