It's an unending battle, passed down from generation to generation. The only thing that truly changes is the name. The quickening? The reckoning? Does it matter? When pitted against destiny, we can only stop, look high to the horizon, and let it be known: this is 90 Seconds on The Verge.
Remember that time in the middle of class, when you were just sitting there minding your own business — and then everybody started breaking out into song? And I'm not talking about Grease 2, here; I'm talking about full-on Generation M culture warrior anthems. Fellas. Yeah. Fellas. Yeah. This is 90 Seconds on The Verge.
Lasers, you know? It's like every time you turn around, they're beaming your priceless cultural artifacts to the moon. Then as soon as you get them to stop, they're taking naked pictures of you and showing everyone at the TSA. What's next? Lasers that kick the girl next to you in class and then disappear, so you get blamed for it? Lasers that steal your keys, and beam them to space? And here we thought lasers were just good for being the best gun in Goldeneye for Nintendo 64. Ugh.
"Uhhhhhh, this is your captain speaking. We seem to be experiencing some minor turbulence inside the cabin. Please fasten your seat belts and please remember, there is no smoking inside the aircraft at any time. Thank you." "Uhhh, this your captain again. It appears that the aircraft itself is the one that's breaking the 'no smoking' rule. I apologize for the witch hunt. We will now be doing an emergency landing so that the aircraft can smoke in peace. Please make sure your seat belt is fastened and that all electronic devices are turned off. Especially those playing Chip Chain. I know it's addicting, but it can wait 10 minutes."
Tobacco. Habanero chili powder. Nutmeg. Cinnamon. Oregano. Coal. Napalm. Ethynol. Salt. Pepper. Edible comments are going to be awesome!

We're not going to be weird today. We're definitely going to be totally normal and accessible. Broadly appealing. Acceptable to the mainstream. Safe. Calm. Collected. Zany but not wacky because that's just too out there. Completely normal. Everything is A-OK.

"What do you reach for? ART! That's what I'm talking about. The very apex of your art! I want to hear your sinews crack and strain. I want your souls... to enter those microphones and emerge, like ghosts, in the homes of our listeners. There's an army of them out there, groping blindly, toiling in the darkness, waiting... For what? For YOU! For your incandescent, brilliant, palpitating talent to light up their miserable, impoverished, dull, and worthless lives. (pause) Okay gang, take five, and then we'll hit it." — Pedro Carmichael
