there's actually still some raves that don't suck, they're usually more like big private parties organized by a group of folks mostly for themselves, but i dunno if the two really merit the same term. i kept hearing the 90s were supposed to make the 60s look like the 50s, and in some ways i thought, well, you know, i can sorta see it, but wtf is up w/all the tit jobs and extra packaging.. something big was missing. it was the very thing i felt relief i could finally let go of when clinton won the presidency. political awareness. end of the cold war, no looking back, the last 12 years had to have been such a stark and horrid nightmare we'd never elect the same cronies again. i was so fucking wrong i can't wrap my head around it. i remember almost wanting bush sr. to have a second term b/c after 4 more years the ire of the people would be so enflamed the whole thing would shift left under sheer pressure. but we just went whew! and took off for the party. when bush won i squeaked out a prayer to gore to not quit fighting till every trick and resource was used up coz it was big what he was willing to let himself look like a sore loser over, but when it was over i went back to refusing to watch the news b/c i'd always end up angry and upset afterward, & just hoped no big shit would go down between then & bushjr getting the boot. mis-cal-cu-la-tion. i'm waiting to hear we're going to march on dc like we did in 91, but i haven't heard it yet. nothing we did then meant shit & nobody remembers why we were there. all the same questions are being asked all over again, it's like being sent back to high school. FIDGET.
