another hair collector. creepy, yet, mysterious and sexy, suuuure. coffee, cigarettes, heroin. yeah sounds good. I think this was his room in Berlin when he was writing “And the Ass saw the Angel….”
Today was really rough - busting ass nonstop for 7 hours, having to tell off a fellow employee’s friend for calling a parking checker a cunt (“…stupid bitch, what a cunt; no offense.” “Well don’t say it then!”), piercing pains in my back & feet, but at the end of it Stagger Lee came on the radio & made everything better THANK YOU NICK CAVE.
I am thinking about the difference between hearing genuine sexism on the street and hearing it in a song from the point of view of a narrator telling the tale of a mythological murderer - what is the difference? Why did that guy infuriate me, but I was then calmed by a song with the lyrics Just then came in a broad named Nellie Brown/Known to make more money than any bitch in town, among other unsavory things? Is it the humor of it, the anxiety reaction to its uncouthness? The stress-relief caused by imagining the absurd amount of violence? The fact that Stagger Lee is a terrible person AKA not cool/not someone you’d want to emulate, therefore one gets some kind of pleasure in pointing that out?
my jean jacket has a patch that says “Stagger Lee”
I use it as a test — does anyone recognize it?
And as confidence booster. When I need to feel like a bad motherfucker.
