The End is Near, Friends…Near…Very Near…Here It Comes!
This morning I have been unsettled and disgruntled. Okay. So, I am working, and listening to music, and then iTunes shuffles randomly and mysteriously provides what I have been looking for, “Moving to Florida”, a bonus track on the seminal 1984 “Psychic, Powerless, Another Man’s Sac” by the Butthole Surfers. This leads to more listening, and then an unsuccessful search for the lyrics to “Woly Boly”, then to the Butthole’s bulletin board, where I found the above link, describing how despite any evidence, the U.S. Govt. has seized $124k from a dude who was trying to buy a truck, and happened to be stopped by the cops while carrying the cash. The genius bar at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that since he was carrying lots of money, he was guilty of something, and they’re keeping it. Read the ruling, and the dissent by one judge here.
Now, back to “Psychic, Powerless, Another Man’s Sac”.
