Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 12
These two songs are good. They are by The Queers. One of them is called "Tamara is a Punk." It is about Tamara, who has seen The Germs and Black Flag, and so who must be old. Tamara is an old punk. Most punks are young. Except for Lee from Fear, who is older than God.

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 10
The year was probably 1980 or 1981, and I was maybe four years old. I was wandering around an apartment complex not very far, actually, from the one I now live in at age forty-seven. My quickly developing consciousness was focused, as per usual, on the television, which had previously blown my infantile mind by introducing me to the fact that SUPERMAN (whose peejays I so loved and cherished, them transforming me into a tot-sized "Superbaby" in the eyes of all and sundry, I was certain) was a f*cking ALIEN; or, as the old narrator during the opening of the "Superman" reruns with George "Not Faster Than the Speeding Bullet That Blew His Brains Out" Reeves, (who was sort of juxtaposed in the opening credits against the Stars and Stripes and outer space), exclaimed: "Superman! That Strange visitor from another planet..." Comforting. Was the Man of Steel here as the expeditionary force for the War of the Worlds?
