"they call me william holden caulfield
it was no compliment
what's wrong with william holden caulfield?
&
i'm afraid of people who like catcher in the rye
yeah, i like it too, but someone tell me why
people he'd despise say i feel like this guy?
i don't wanna grow up 'cause i don't wanna die"
Has anyone else heard that song?"
Oh yeah. A TMJ fan from way back, from "Green Eggs and Crack" way
back. How about...
"all that stuff that bummed me out ten years ago,
still bugs me today, and boy I wanna know,
who died and made you my mom
and me some stupid kid,
how can you forget all those things we did.
So keep on sleeping on
till your hair is grey
when I turn eighty
I better feel this way."
Too Much Joy, while far from being the JDS of the eighties and nineties
have made what little name they have in this world by "turning anger

William Holden.
(They're one real claim to fame was being arrested in FL for doing a set
of banned Too Live Crew stuff).
more later,
