MUSTA BEEN A BAD DAY

audience.jpg

I was sorting through my fig drawing sketchbooks last night, and this fell out. I know I must have done it, because it hasn't been my experience that strangers who draw like me creep in and slip their drawings into my sketchbooks without me knowing it. But I sure don't recall what inspired me to do it. Safe to say I was disgruntled about something, but aside from that, who knows? I remember thinking that the easel would be fun to draw, and everything after that is a vague haze. I mean that literally--everything after that right up until the present moment, which keeps moving on me. Maybe I was mugged or something. Or maybe I'm in a coma in some midwestern hospital and I'm only dreaming this life. Or maybe I'm God and I'm amusing myself by pretending I'm just some guy. Because it must be boring being God. Tell you one thing, if I were God, this shit would be getting old. I would take one look at George Allen and say, "Jesus! Hand me that mirror, would you?"

I really like the guy with the hand down his pants. I'm sure you must have drawn this from real life...there are plenty of these guys walking around. Is there a magnet there or something?

Oh, I didn't catch you guys in time. Don't Google George Allen. I mean, he's not the Antichrist or anything, but it's his very mediocrity, his ordinariness, that's threatening. You know, the banality of evil and all that. To most of us he, like Dubya, seems like an aw-shucks good old boy and how can he possibly be bad cause he's just like Jerry down to the Sunoco station and Jerry's an okay guy. It's not the sneering Cheneys you have to worry about, because ...okay, well, you have to worry about him, too. But the George Allens of the world sneak up on you. His aw-shucks friendly-guy nature wins people over and has them actually believing him when he says that he made up the word "macaca" on the spot or that the Confederate flag and noose he decorated his apartment with were just college-boy fun items.

And I'm practically contradicting myself when I evince any syumpathy for Dubya. Practically? Okay, I'm a snivelling addle-brained hypocrite.I know that. What makes you think I don't know that?

There was one season on Saturday Night Live, which featured Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest and Martin Short and Billy Crystal and it generated some of the all-time funniest bits I've ever seen, like a documentary about a pair of male synchronized swimmers. And Martin Short uttering the lines above. And nobody ever talks about them. They talk about Adam Sandler, for godssake. Sheesh.
