I have never once seen an episode of Cowboy Bebop, but I am fast becoming obsessed with the music from it.  I’m old.  This just isn’t done.

 

But, but, but. . . . Steve Conte rocks.

 

I tried to talk myself out of it by listening to some old-people music but I hate that stuff so it didn’t work. (It’s old-people music if I say it is.)  (That usually just means I don’t like it for some reason.)  (Just being ‘old’ doesn’t make it ‘old-people music.’  It’s all in the attitude.)  (Cole Porter, for example, has attitude.)  (Some of those people on the Lawrence Welk show don’t.)  (And some of them do.)  (Bobby Burgess was cool.) (He was cooler as a Mouseketeer, though.)  (Most of those Lawrence Welk people were lip-synching.  That’s cheating.  If they were really good, they’d go for it.)  (Milli Vanilli found that out the hard way.)  (But they were never on Lawrence Welk.)

 

Just look at that weird meandering tangent string up there.  See?  I’m old. 

 

But Steve Conte still rocks.
