	This one is about Hattiesburg, MS indie rock icon Scott Panther. He treated me as an equal when I first started playing in bands around town. He was into Game Theory and Mitch Easter, and I gave him a Game Theory album I wasn't in to. One night our bands played a show together and he came up to me and said, "Wanna burn one?" I didn't get what he was saying, and he explained the whole pot thing. I declined, but wrote this a tribute to a man who plays the kind of music he wants whether he makes money or not.

	A 20-minute collage of 4-track pieces that I never finished, and having heard Bee Thousand, I decided to try something like that.

"Idiot Rock"  Parental Advisory genre: Indie

	Why is it that the stupidest, most predictable songs are always the most popular (there are exceptions, of course)? This song is a reaction to the Creeds, Lits, Matchbox 20s, and 3 Doors Downs of the world (the above list is very incomplete). The lyrics are pretty cynical and corrosive, but I think they're quite humorous, also. The song has two parts--the first is really the "Idiot Rock" part, which likens idiot rock to a number of unsavory things, and the second part is called "Hitshitting," which takes the cliche "when the shit hits the fan" and reorders the elements to read "because the hit shits the fan." I think this line is the key to the whole concept, along with "watch everyone flock to idiot rock," because if you think about it, most top 40 hits DO "shit" the fan. They're pre-fab, following well-established formulas, and don't have much substance.But who cares what I think--it's just a funny song that rocks. Don't miss the musical quotes in the second verse of "Hitshitting."
