Legacy
My favorite thing to do when trying to escape the world was to go hit book stores, record stores, thrift stores...anyplace I could rummage and find buried and forgotten treasure. In the back of my mind- or maybe a little closer than that- it was never lost on me that I couldn't be doing this without the money from the jobs I was avoiding; jobs I was jeopardizing by shying away from them for more pleasant activities. That's the dichotomy of living in a consumer-based economy. Buying buys the good life, but you have to work in order to buy; you then have very little time to enjoy what you're buying. Solution? Buy more, it'll make you feel better. If that sounds twisted, it is.
lyrics
It was morning
And down the streets
In endless numbered rows
The time worn shops of spectral merchants stood open.
Inviting you to buy their wares
Come and buy
Here where the lost souls shop
In search of that special something
That can bring the magic back to their lost lives.
The morning doors are open.....
The spectral shops call.....
Come and buy your life away.....
Spend your life today.....
G.S., '86
