I miss Moxy Fruvous. Well ok, I guess technically i can't miss them since I didn't become a fan of their music until after their "hiatus" was already in effect. The hiatus, by the way, has been going on for.. what.. almost a decade? I think its time to face the fact that the band broke up. Anywho, for an example of why I miss them so much, here is a snippet of lyrics from the beautiful "Gulf War Song." It was written about the 1st Gulf War but I think it applies even more to the current war in Iraq.
"We got a call to write a song about the war in the Gulf
But we shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings
So we tried, then gave up, 'cause there was no such song
But the trying was very revealing
What makes a person so poisonous righteous
That they'd think less of anyone who just disagreed?
She's just a pacifist, he's just a patriot
If I said you were crazy, would you have to fight me?
Fighters for liberty, fighters for power
Fighters for longer turns in the shower
Don't tell me I can't fight, 'cause I'll punch out your lights
And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me"
Pretty, no? Moxy Fruvous... wherever you are... come back!
