Anyway, Burt Lancaster is a babe-magnet to all the chicks he comes across, like Peter Fonda is in 'Easy Rider', except Burt Lancaster is in swim trunks and Fonda is in that bad-ass leather jacket with the American Flag on the back.

Burt Lancaster in 'The Swimmer': this film is, like, 'Easy Rider' for affluent suburban dudes and shit. Except he doesn't get shot in the end. In the late Sixties and early Seventies the dudes had to get shot at the end to make it, like, true, because that shit happens, man.

The most epic of this was Robert Blake in 'Elektra Glide in Blue', where the fucking hippies shoot him off his bike and he's dying in the middle of the highway and the camera keeps pulling back until he disappears in the distance of, like, Monument Valley, it fucking rocks. Shit happens at 1:50 and shit.

Anyway, Burt Lancaster is a babe-magnet to all the chicks he comes across, like Peter Fonda is in 'Easy Rider', except Burt Lancaster is in swim trunks and Fonda is in that bad-ass leather jacket with the American Flag on the back. And, like, they are both finding out about America and themselves, except the old dude is really just in the suburbs.

It's like the two films are from two different eras, except 'The Swimmer' was in 1968 and 'Easy Rider' was made in 1969 so, like, they were only a year apart. But they both are about journeys, but Burt Lancaster was a lot older than Peter Fonda, so his journey was more of a dad-journey, like all mid-life crisis and shit, where Fonda was having a young dude's journey while wearing that bad-ass leather jacket with the American Flag on the back.

So, both are kinda about disillusionment and shit, except the old dude drinks while the young dude smokes pot, but they both kinda feel like the American Dream isn't really there anymore. But in those days the old dudes suffered on the inside, while the young dudes let that shit hang out, I think this was, like, symbolized in their haircuts and shit.

I mean, straight men in their seventies don’t dress like a pirate unless they are actually a pirate, okay?

I always thought the song was, like, Mick’s way of letting Keith know gently that, no, Mick was not going to fuck him and shit. Because if you can’t tell that Keith Richards is gay then you just don’t know how to look. I mean, straight men in their seventies don’t dress like a pirate unless they are actually a pirate, okay? So when Mick sings “I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection” The ‘her’ is Keith, and Keith and Mick are at, like, some party or shit, and Keith’s looking for his drug dealer, because he’s not going to get to fuck Mick and now he needs some more drugs. Pretty obvious. Then Mick sings “But I went down to the demonstration To get your fair share of abuse Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse" And the ‘demonstration’ is a metaphor for the recording studio, where Keith is abusive of Mick because Mick isn’t rock-and-roll e...

I mean, most of the time the cattle prods are like a metaphor and shit, but sometimes you need a real cattle prod to make your shit obvious.

"our favorite characters are unrelentingly tortured — electrocuted with cattle prods, kicked, threatened with dogs, chained to a gas stove and burned, left alive on a gallows covered with urine." This does kinda sound like harsh shit, but it's, like, a corollary of Internet Rule 34: if it's on video and involves a chick, some dude somewhere will masturbate to it. It's just how media works, if it can't get chicks outraged and dudes masturbating then it isn't doing the job. But "The Handmaid’s Tale" is, like, for chicks to masturbate their feminist clit. Because a lot of chicks feel the most represented in art when they are a victim, like, getting electrocuted with cattle prods. I mean, most of the time the cattle prods are like a metaphor and shit, but sometimes you need a real cattle prod to make your shit obvious. It's kinda like how chicks get Oscars for portraying hookers: because all chicks are hookers and being electrocuted by catt...

Because if you look at rock stars from back in the day, they all pretty much look like twinks, too.

So, like, I did a little research, because some of the gay dudes I know say all twinks are bottoms. And the first Google article has some twinks who say, no, that's a misconception and shit. But then Queerty actually did a survey of gay dudes, and they said, yeah, most twinks are bottoms. But I don't think all twinks are gay and shit. Because if you look at rock stars from back in the day, they all pretty much look like twinks, too. I mean, Mick Jagger: when he was young, he was pretty much a twink, and he wasn't, like, gay ALL the time. And David Bowie was a twink, and HE wasn't gay all the time. There is even that rumor that Jagger and Bowie fucked each other once, but I don't remember if it was ever said who was the bottom. I bet it was Bowie, but that's just a guess, really, maybe he and Jagger both took turns being bottoms and shit. Now, Freddie Mercury: he was pretty much gay all the time, but I don't think he was a twink, I don't think most ...
