theme song redux

[mellowtigger]

About 2 weeks ago, I selected "Alice's Restaurant" as the theme song of the day. I quoted from the Wikipedia page about the song, "Guthrie considered the song as relevant in 2015 as it was in 1965, particularly in that millennials and Generation Z were, much like the Baby Boomers of his era, beginning to coalesce as a bloc in opposition to the "very sophisticated manipulation" from major authority figures and institutions of the era, something that Guthrie believed Baby Boomers would find familiar."

I closed by stating, "Still relevant."

Today, social media has been flooding with more (and more) photos of the accused killer that I mentioned yesterday. Amongst the thousands of comments to this Reddit post of one mugshot is this gem of nested replies:

"Why does he have like 9 mugshots in 24 hours?"
> "And a full bodyshot while in a holding cell."
> > "With wallet-size on sale in the lobby."
> > > "8x10 black and white glossy's out by this afternoon?"
> > > > "They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and they took twenty-seven 8 x 10 color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us."

I'm greatly entertained when I encounter another mind that runs in the same grooves as mine. It sure feels like somebody is trying to sell us a narrative. Now, I'm off to listen again to Alice's Restaurant while I eat dinner.
