Messages in music heard without drugs

I saw Huggies diapers today that said in Korean on the label “magic panties.”  Which is true, because when I opened the box an extra absorbent wizard popped out.

Anyway, I did stand up comedy a second time tonight at the local open mic in Gunsan.  I think I did better than last time but I couldn’t tell over the sound of my own fear.

This is the last unused picture I have at the moment, so let’s talk about it.

This is the triangle-shaped album of the #1 single in Korea (at some point, maybe still), “Bad Girl Good Girl” by the girl group Miss A.  The song’s decent, but that’s not the reason I show this to you.  The album name has blown my mind.  I don’t understand.  Long but short.  Fire but water.  Start but finished.  Beard but clean shaven.  Tom but Jerry.  I can’t wrap my mind around it.

Look, one night of drunken debauchery doesn’t make you bad.  Karma is a ladder that takes a long time to climb down.  There’s no explanation in the music.  And the song lyrics aren’t exactly Dickens.  Oh well, let’s just say it’s a bad song but it’s good that it sold so many copies.
