O glorious filesharing networks
I am a good law abiding citizen and would never patronize thee
but if I did so
and found a huge ‘rar’ archive full of REM B-Sides
including ones I heard back in the Days of Vinyl and never thought I’d hear again,
like “Ghost Rider, Motorcycle Hero,” and Syd Barrett’s “Dark Globe,”
as well as ones new to me like “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and covers of Leonard Cohen’s “First We Take Manhattan,” and Richard Thompson’s “Wall of Death,”
I would say, “O Filesharing Networks, to thee I am truly grateful, for letting me roll about in musical nostalgia like a pig in manure.
