No joke. I think it was almost 15 years ago when my friend John, Steven, and Waz introduced me to a badn that I will never forget– The Happy Flowers. Even though it was created as a spin off band, it for some reason meant so much to me. I used to listen really loudly in my car on the way to school in the morning, and sometimes in headphones in between classes. For many years now, those memories of that music would pop in my head like the other day when I was driving to work and could not stop thinking about the line “MOM STOP THE CAR. PAUL’S LOST HIS HEAD” and “I WANT AN UN-HAPPY MEAL. IF I WANTED A TOY, I’D JUST BUY ONE; BESIDES I’D RATHER HAVE A WEAPON.” Priceless stuff. Anyway, this morning I was hit on IM from John and Steven whom I still stay in touch with. They sent me this link:

Apparently someone in our military uses this great music to torture the Iraqis. Insaine. That is all I can say.
