I heard Good Charlotte's song "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" on the new rock alternative today.
And I was reminded that while irony may be dead, its ghost has certainly decided to hang around and annoy everyone.
I say this because the chorus to this song has the following insights into the human condition: "Lifestyles of the rich and the famous, they're always complainin', always complainin'"
I mean, do I have to spell it out for you? Okay, fine.
See, the band's obviously not in any way poor, because poor people don't have a voice on Portland's new rock alternative, except when they call in and request songs about how rich people are bad. And then the band is obviously complaining about ... oh, never mind.
