Once again, I could count on Stash from Dorks in Space for perspective. After our gig, he began setting me straight about lyrics.
STASH – Like a tiger/you can see his stripes/but you know he’s clean?! What does that even mean? All Ronnie James Dio did was write stuff that would sound cool over awesome riffs! You need to shut off your filter.
ME – Yeah, but I’ve been listening to Queensryche since I was a kid.
STASH – Well, there’s your problem right there.
I genuinely enjoy hanging out with that guy. Really, I am going to try giving that filter a bit of a rest.
