To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Went to White Castle for lunch today... they used to play strictly oldies on their muzak.  About a year ago, they switched to 80s pop.  It seems that recently they've switched again to.... I'm not sure what they're going for now unless their goal is to offend as many people as possible.  Today I heard:

"Heaven's A Lie", Lacuna Coil
"Killing In The Name Of", RATM (and no, not the radio edit)
a bunch of gangsta rap I didn't recognize

:huh:

Sleepy Brown -- "Me, and My Baby, and My Cadillac" (5th wheel on the back yeah, rollin' :cool:). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfiE8Gbt7tw 

I don't know why, but I heard this all the time circa 2005-06, but it seems to be obscure now.  I couldn't even find it online the last time I looked a few years ago searching with the basic chorus lyrics.  I only ever had the hook in my head.  But I got it back and it's still great.

The Killers - Deadlines And Commitments
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Sly and the Family Stone -- "Family Affair," "Luv n' Haight," "(You Caught Me) Smilin'"

This is from the album "There's A Riot Goin' On," recorded in 1971, as Sly was just starting to slip into the cocaine-n'-PCP hole that he never really left, holed up in an LA mansion with a bunch of guns and vicious dogs. 

It's a real change from the classic Family Stone era, with everything dubbed separately, Sly playing almost everything and singing much more in a weird rasp.  Looking it up online, music critics seem to think of this as a "death of the 60s" masterpiece.  "Family Affair" was a No. 1 hit, but does sound much darker than I had remembered it in my head.

Apparently the Black Panthers had been leaning on Sly to take a more radical stance, ditch the white members of the band and write more militant songs.  And he was getting bent out-of-shape by his far-out-wacky-guy-peace-and-love persona.

It looked like Sly Stone was going to come back out of obscurity for a while around 2007, but as of 2011 he is apparently living in a van in Crenshaw, either homeless or too paranoid to live in a house.  :(
