Dang, sometimes The Onion hits a little too close to home. My favorite lines from this satirical piece:
1) “Also believed to be among the missing are seven freelance rock critics, five vinyl junkies, two ‘zine publishers, an art-school dropout, and a college-radio DJ.”
2) “I just pray they can somehow get this club rebuilt in time for next month’s Dismemberment Plan/Death Cab For Cutie show. That’s a fantastic double bill.”
3) “It’s just tragic,” Gaer continued. “I heard they were going to play Daniel Johnston’s ‘Speeding Motorcycle.’ They almost never do that one live.”
Heh. Dead-on, I’ll admit. But one of my co-workers had to point out that the “victims” were all wearing glasses like mine. Sigh.
