Halloween - OOH, OOH, Can HARDLY WAIT. (NOT)

Yes, it's a MONTH away, but supermarkets and drug stores are loaded with Halloween garbage...those bad novelty candies, dopey decorations and other BUY BUY bullshit.

One of the usual suspects in blogland has actually set up a SECOND blog JUST to hoist the same tired "slaylists" (ha ha ha, haven't heard that term before) of old novelty singles that are no longer a novelty.

This geezer is actually wetting his pants over Halloween and COUNTING THE DAYS. Yes, like a fucking six-year old. COUNTING THE DAYS...

Yeah, "ghouls just wanna have fun." But, in the term popularized by Larry David, "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Sad. We know from many more infamous retired fools, blogs are quite the playground for second-childhood geezers with nothing better to do. Posting stupid out of print music is a fairly benign form of inane dronery, but at least this guy does stick to out of print. Much more insane is that ADULTS dress up for and take over what should be a KIDDIE holiday.

When I was a kid, Halloween was KID stuff. No Halloween parade in Greenwich Village. No Halloween stores set up JUST to hawk expensive costumes. No adults dressing up and throwing parties for themselves; the adults were home answering the fucking door and giving candy to the kids. Halloween had not yet become one of the biggest commercial holidays...just behind Christmas.

Now? Now so-called adults are COUNTING THE DAYS to when they can compete with each other dressing up in drag, as monsters, or nearly naked except for a plastic Miley mask.

It's pretty rare when Mexico is intellectually ahead of us in any way, but their similar holiday is NOT about candy, IS aimed at adults primarily, and consists mostly of people in skeleton costumes because it's an event that gives us pause to remember and deal with the past...and the ultimate grim future.

This blogger's a benign bozo and he just wants to have a good time...but a little of this shit spreads a long way on the toilet paper of life. With so many bloggers and so many stores in the real world piling the crap on, it's Halloween overkill. Hacky corny attempts to be funny or spooky are just boring and annoying. Setting up a second blog JUST to re-post old crap?? And make such a big deal to the point of counting the days? ZZzzz. And the only way anyone even knows about it is if they're old geezers into 78's and Christian hymn music and have visited his other one.

At least the guy writes about the lame spooky-tunes on his way to providing the link. He'd be quite the ghoul if he said "Not to be missed, entire Jethro Tull discography! Leave me a NICE comment." And he'd really be a zombie if instead of respecting the artists he wrote: "these songs did not chart" or "I do not know anything about these songs" or "Oh dear, my dog Muffin laid a turd-muffin on my head while I was sleeping so I not only can't make a shit-for-brains post today, I was late for the boot sale..."
