Far deep in the layers of your skull, there should be a small circuit that is intended to make you smile at the simple things in life. This fine, delicate trigger is very important for your survival as a decent human being. So small and so simple, it tries to keep up with your transcending adult responsibilities and is usually snuffed out around the age of 15. That is why most people are assholes.
If for some rare reason you still have the smiling personality of your fifteen-year old self, and you rejoice at the little inside jokes of your own little world, then you can appreciate the ability to sit back and look around at the assholes taking life so serious while you go on humming either Benny Hill, Looney Tunes or the Three Stooges theme songs in your silly head.
Now that we're on that level, let me introduce to you R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders.
These guys are for people like us who like to sit back and smile at that Big Full Moon...
People who enjoy laughing at the most intelligent, stupid instances of everyday life and people who like to drop off the cliff in the back of their skull to all of those places that only they can see; where there is a band shell nestled in a quiet summer town at dusk and the clocks are all broken. Sitting amongst your dreams, you can watch that moon rise and listen to the sweet sounds of a light heart...
Thanks Kenny!
