What the hell. I'll pour some gas on these flames.
In honor of the great warrior Mike James, an ode by the inimitable Denton band Centro-Matic, titled "Huge in Every City":
You're stalling rhythm, stopping at the open fade
Pulling out the portamento, the singer's led astray.
You're calling up the song committee, but your number's been delayed
You said you're huge in every city, but not this one today.
It's called cutting corners, arriving by the easy way
You sabotage the useless beauty and kick it out to stay.
This artificial presentation - hold it for another day
You say you're huge in every city, but not this one today.
Stop now! We're getting out!
Still stalling rhythm, you're overrated, overpayed
Holding back the information, hold it back some way.
You say it's not what you expected, expenditures in every way
Said you're huge in every city, but not this one today.
