I think we're getting lost in rusty and discarded romantic
notions that might have been the last swill in the bottle as
F. Scott Fitzgerald faded into a soiled and untender night
dreaming of crazy babes, jazz tunes and class-climbing. Those
guys came with the dust and are as gone as farm land as
sobbing Okies kiss the sky. We're talking protagonists. We
can be heroes for just one day if you really want but where
have you been? The notion of heroes as defined by laced and
perfumed dandies writing with a quill and dazzled by cantatas
is quaint and touching but somehow it seems absurd in a world
of atomic bombs and bikinis. Or maybe we've moved on even
further. Does Kiss Me Deadly ring a bell?
