"it's allright to be mean"

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2009.11.10

I listen to some music with challenging lyrics for a one year old. Kenny still gets it.

There's this one remix of "Cheap and Cheerful" by the Kills that has the refrain "it's all right to be mean." It repeats so constantly through the song that I noticed Kenny making similar noises as the song played out.

I told him, "Kenny; it's all right..."

He dutifully said, "to be een".

rand()m quote

A creative person would prefer their music to be stolen and enjoyed than ignored. This is the dilemma for every creative soul: he or she would prefer to starve and be heard than to eat well and be ignored.

—Pete Townshend
