For anyone who wonders about the punk music scene... here. Wonder no more. It made no sense to me.



posting this for the Status Quo Nova getting blown up on a tv show...and they blew up a couple orange Novas, at least two, the one you see here, and one at a concert in Pasadena of all places.

For what it's worth, if you get curious what the hell she's saying, here's the lyrics. They repeat, but why bother re-reading.


One, two, one two, FUCK YOU Masterplan, masterplan, masterplan Masterplan, masterplan, masterplan It makes you feel so sure Masterplan, Superman, masterplan It makes you feel secure Masterplan, Ku Klux Klan, masterplan You get down on your knees Masterplan, masterplan, masterplan Can't tell the forest from the trees

You had it made, you had it made, you had it made but you blew it
You had it made, you had it made, you had it made but you blew it
You had it made, you had it made, but you blew it all away

Masterplan, masterplan, masterplan It makes you feel so sure Masterplan, macho man, masterplan It makes you feel so virile Masterplan, delivery man, masterplan You'd like to rule the world Masterplan, masterplan, masterplan You like controlling minds

for the interview that went with the mini concert:



 The music sucked, but when the lead singer was a young naked woman in shaving cream that melted in the spotlights and sweat... they sold a lot of tickets, and made some money

So yeah, 1st grade lyrics, fast guitars, someone wearing an Easy Rider helmet while playing keyboards. Not high IQ art that gets stared at in museums while some docent explains that the artist was in this or that period of art and how it symbolizes blah blah blah

read the whole article, it's quite interesting how while seeking fame and fortune, a couple kooks fell in love, hit the big time, disappeared when the ride was over, and made a geodesic dome house in the woods to live with nature.

It's from Spin magazine, Sept 1998
