My rant on Sufjan Stevens and my love of written freedom....?
I like that I've seemed to find something involving the internet that is scarcely read. No, I really do mean that. Imagine, multiple people reading this. (?!) Anyway, such lovely and occassionally sought after freedom does deserve the right attention, no?When listening to this song, I really can't help but be mesmerized by it. Being able to humanize such a person as John Wayne Gacy Jr. is quite something. "He killed 10,000 people with the slight of his hand..." There's no doubt in my mind that this song puts such an artist in the limelight. I had a chance to see Sufjan (yes, really, it's pronounced SOO-F-JUN according to an article--no joke!) in a town not too far away during this past summer. Listening to this album as I do now, I can almost hear the sounds of me kicking my own ass for not being in attendence. There's something about a full horn section and Sufjan's use of the word "decatur" that really does something for me, I guess. And why would he be afraid of Nicholas Spark? Or does he mean nickels spark? Either way, it seems like an odd statement. I'll conclude my rant on Mr. Stevens by stating that he's got the looks and the talent to rock my socks anytime.
Now Playing: Sufjan (SOO-F-JUN) Stevens- "John Wayne Gacy Jr."
