Correct me if I'm wrong [Andy] but some of these TAAR songs seem to have some sort of similarities or connections between them. My Paper Heart says ...leaves fall down / so do I to the arms of a friend. Then Swing, Swing says, they bend, they fold / and so do I to a new love. Then in Happy Endings he says I'll write you this last song and it's right before The Last Song in which he says This may be the last thing that I write for long! I'm not sure if this is intentional or if they just couldn't come up with lyrics or if I'm just picking out coincidences. Either way, people should still go get the The All-American Rejects CD or at least download their songs. They're fun to listen to. Double the intended.
What I don't get is how any of these medications sell at all with the warnings of side effects forced into their commercials. Sure, if you take Zoloft you'll be a happy camper, but you could also suffer from hallucinations, liver failure, anxiety, psychosis and mania. Seems like a big sacrifice to slap that smile on your face, doesn't it? It can cause hostility and aggression, too. A happy, hostile, aggressive person. Maybe Derek's on Zoloft. Maybe I'm on Zoloft. But wait!! Don't worry, because hostility and aggression are labeled under the category of "may have no association with the drug." That's a major relief. I know I've definitely wiped the sweat off of my forehead. It even causes 3-5% of people to experience a suicidal event. Yeah, I did my homework. But hey, if I suffered from depression, I'd probably wanna try anything to get out of it; if this is the best that they can come up with, I suppose I'd be willing to try it and take the risks. I'd just remember to cut down on my drinking. So listen up, guys, I'm not really trying to bash Zoloft. It just so happened to be the product whose commercial I remembered most vividly. What, with the little cotton-ball-shaped head sulking under the rain cloud? Who could forget that little ... whatever it is? And I also remembered all of its disclaimers hastily said in a low voice in the middle of the commercial. It's funny how right after they mention stuff like constipation, the little cotton-ball-shaped head is prancing around all cheerful and lively. I bet he wouldn't be so cheerful if he was spending hours on the pot trying to take a crap.
Ah... I love ending on a cheerful note!
