It’s one I share with my daughter. I explained to her the symbolism and now she thinks of mom as the wolf. I’m not sure which child she is and I am hoping for no fratricide.
Once you zoom out on these old stories it always gets messy. I would have loved to give my daughter the middle name of Antigone because she's an amazing character but I couldn't get over the implication of incestuous parentage.
Getting comfortable with uncomfortable stories is a life lesson to be sure.
Antigone is a really pretty middle name though.
We’ve always gone with family names which are very often religious. “Oh yeah your namesake was crucified for the faith. He died willingly as a martyr.”
But I’m a religious sort and teaching my girl biblical stories involves a lot of explanation.
A lot of explanation indeed. There was a funny episode where my wife attenuated the violence from the end of the David and Goliath story only for me to later tell our five year old daughter that it wasn't the stone that killed Goliath but that David cut off his head with his own sword once the stone had laid him out.
Strangely enough, we did give one child Ganymede for a middle name and that wasn't too uncomfortable, but it's more of a reference to Rosalind's pseudonym in As You Like It than to Zeus cup bearer
Now that’s a heck of a middle name.
We named you after a barren fatty lifeless rock, but hey you at least have a magnetic field and you’re bigger than Mercury.
And yeah, everyone thinks it was the stone.
Wait until you hear about going out and collecting foreskins.
🗣️📢 SING SING SING FOR THE DYING OF THE DAY SING FOR THE FLAMES THAT WILL RIP THROUGH HERE AND THE SMOKE THAT WILL CARRY US AWAY YEAH SING FOR THE DAMAGE WE'VE DONE AND THE WORSE THINGS THAT WE'LL DO OPEN YOUR MOUTH UP AND SING FOR ME NOW AND I WILL SING FOR YOU
Scrolled too long to see No Children! Every time it comes on when my wife and I are together we immediately hold hands "I HOPE YOU DIE / I HOPE WE BOTH DIE". It just feels good.
I like it when they get folksy. And it’s so much like religious chant or hymn.

That might interest some.
I love the biblical references. “Seriously Peter I asked you to stay up.”
I always have the urge to atleast hum it for the following,
"You must give to the March of Dimes!
You must be on guard against wickedness at all times!!!"
"The MAGPIE Comes at Noon"
"RUNS THROUGH HIM WITH A BROAD SWORD"
" Aren't you that old wrestler with the bull whip?
Yes Sir, That's me. I'm him"
I'm harrrrd coorrre, but I'm not that hardcore. I'm pretty hard corrrre, but I'm not that hardcore.
And despite being pretty non-violent, I find it difficult not to sing about sticking someone in the eye with a foreign object. Sucks me in every time.
There's a book called Don't Sleep With Your Drummer that was a formative part of my high school years, which includes a scene at a punk show where someone spins in a circle while puking. Another guy gets a faceful and yells "I'm not that punk! I'm just not that fucking punk, man!" Always reminds me of that. 😂
In general, I'm full car concert mode to any of their songs. I add in the lyrics JD changed live. Example: Games Shows Touch our Lives - original lyric "all of that money, look at it fly. And you smoking, like a chimney" is now "and you smoking, smoking your Newports like a chimney" and of course No Children "I hope we all die!"
I hung pictures of you
From every lamppost in town
As the humidity climbed into numbers
I don’t care to repeat
The air was heavy
And the sky was alive
And the Pacific Starlight train wasn’t due in ‘till eleven-forty-fie-i-ii-ive.
AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN LIKE WATER FROM A FAUCET
I SAW HIM AT THE CROSSROADS BUT I NEVER SAW HIM CROSS IT
ONE MINUTE HE WAS ON THIS SIDE AND THE NEXT HE WAS OVER ON THE OTHER
SO WENT HIS ROUNDS ONE SAD PATIENT AFTER ANOTHER
"And then I'm awake and I'm guarding my face
Hoping you don't break my stereo
Because it's the one thing that I couldn't live without
And so I think about that, and then I sort of black out."
Literally all of them, but lately it's been the final chorus on "Same As Cash." Had a customer walk in on me going ham with it the other day and was just like "welp, I thought you were gonna take longer than that getting out of your car."
OUR MOTHER HAS BEEN ABSENT, EVER SINCE WE FOUNDED ROME, BUT THERE'S GONNA BE A PARTY WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME!

I can hear Peter’s bass while reading this
This! With incessant rage.
This and with saintly intensity
AS I CROSS THE MACON COUNTY LINE
HOLT BLVD, BETWEEN GAREY AND WHITE.
THE APERTURE YAWNING AND BLINKING
AND THE HEADSTONES CLIMB UP THE HILLS
IT WILL BE TOO LATE BY THE TIME WE LEARN WHAT THESE CRYPTIC SYMBOLS MEAN
And repeat
HAND IN UNLOVABLE HAND
Scrolled too long to see No Children! Every time it comes on when my wife and I are together we immediately hold hands "I HOPE YOU DIE / I HOPE WE BOTH DIE". It just feels good.
LIKE A TRASH CAN FIRE IN A PRISON CELL LIKE THE SEARCH LIGHTS IN THE PARKING LOTS OF HELL

This is a top 3 MG song for me! It puts me in this indescribable trance listening to it when I let myself zone out to it. Love the whole album.

If you’re not screaming every line of Golden Boy what are you doing with your life?
That’s me I’m him is definitely one

These threads rule, the all caps are very cathartic. We should do this twice a week.
I will know who you are yet
"And then I'm awake and I'm guarding my face Hoping you don't break my stereo Because it's the one thing that I couldn't live without And so I think about that, and then I sort of black out."
