i’m convinced that the most profound and real thing beck ever wrote is MTV Makes Me Wanna Smoke Crack
and i say that as a fan of the guy, albeit one heavily biased toward his pre-odelay works, back when he was barely a part of the music industry and floated between minimum-wage jobs trying to stay alive. back when he ate beans from a can as the tv antenna struggled to pick up mtv, its snowy stills taunting him with glimpses of a life more glamorous than any he’d ever have.
but then he made it big and ran out of stuff to say.
