To be a Jew, is to be of many minds on the same subject. On every subject, really.

Sometimes it seems like it all just comes down to random chance, the luck of the draw, being at the right place at the right time, et cetera. When someone puts Lil Wayne on at work, I wonder why it's him and not Sharkula. If Shark had been born later, and gotten into the game in the internet era, would it be his secretly genius/overtly retarded stream-of-consciousness rap all over the radio right now? If Twang Bang had gotten their start a little earlier, or a little later, in some place like Athens, GA, or New York, New York, would it have been their perfectly crafted novelty pop songs, about things like sex without love and two-headed women, instead of They Might Be Giants, or their upbeat brand of country, boogaloo, and old timey music instead of that of the Squirrel Nut Zippers? Would they be Tenacious D for the Country Music Channel? When I think about that
