The Monk Bought Lunch

hey Monk, are you as impressed as I am with the way the band "the cult" has been around for like 25 years but only seems to have one song which they have been milking since 1985? I can't even believe it when I see them on tv and they still just play that song, and then they pan the audience and it seems like everyone is some sort of hardcore "the cult" fan, just loving the hell out of this one song like it's the first time they ever heard it..how do they do it? should I hate them, or should I join the crowd and start listening to this song every chance I get, for the rest of my life, and lament all of the wasted time I've spent in the last 21 years not listening to this song?

Len- I wasn't aware this had turned into an advice column, but we takes what we gets, so my advice to you is to go rent The Crow and watch it over and over until you begin to weep. At this point, you will realize, between sobs, that The Cult actually recorded TWO songs: She Sells Sanctuary (by the seashore) and Fire Woman (and hire another woman). Also, Ian Astbury filled in for Jim Morrison on one version of The Doors because Jim couldn't catch the flight from Argentina. Cult Bass Player (his legal name) auditioned for Metallica, but they didn't want him. So you see, The Cult has been busy being losers in their own right, which probably leaves little time for being losers in The Cult. As for what your reaction should be to seeing them exhumed for periodic display on Jimmy Kimmel or whatever, I'd suggest you put your petty "musical tastes" aside, relax and assume the position, and howl "FYE-AAAAAAAH! FYE-AAAAAAH!" and stomp your fringy boots.
