03/25/26 Show 304 : Upon Careful Reflection, All Songs Are Equally Great
from The Gerard Cosloy Radio Hour (That Feels Like Two Hours) · host Gerard Cosloy
so I was doing this silly interview with a UK newspaper and they were asking annoying questions like “what’s your favorite karaoke song?” (Paul Anka, “Having My Baby”), and “which song would be played for your torture at Camp X-Ray?” (Paul Anka, “Having My Baby”) and one of the click-baity Q’s was, “name a classic you don’t think has aged particularly well?” Off the top of my head, the only thing I could come up with was the Vatican Commandos’, “Housewives On Valium”. It’s unkind to housewives, houses, wives and valium (in that order) and frankly, I think the lyrics are kinda gross. Anyhow, how was i to know the publication would highlight this part of the interview on their socials (“person who isn’t you dislikes a song”) nor did I have any idea what the resulting firestorm would be. I am somewhat sorry if anyone’s feelings were hurt but I am not apologizing to the vatican, commandos or the Vatican Commandos. I would however like to send well wishes to the Suicide Commandos’ Steve Almaas, whose health complications have him missing the band’s 50th anniversary celebrations this weekend.
