Young Hearts! Run Free! Unless You Wear Skinny Jeans and Live in Australia Then Please Stay Indoors Because Your Legal System Hates You

It's from May, but the irrationality is timeless.

This morning I heard a cover of Young Hearts Run Free by Swell Season. I like the disco one but this version made my marrow quiver; the lyrics are so right on. Well, maybe not the part about the babies... The last time I heard it was in Romeo + Juliet, when crazy Mercutio does his song and dance.








there were several versions available, some extended and more glittery, but I really like the way Mercutio looks in this one with his sparkly sparkle heels and gun: a shiny violent disco ball.

Speaking of pretty - have you seen "The Peggy Horror Picture Show"? It is my favorite King of the Hill episode. Peggy makes friends with a drag queen, Carolyn, and the drag queen thinks Peggy is a dude. When this is all revealed, Peggy is depressed and hates her big feet and unfemininity. It's lovely how Carolyn shows Peggy how she is a standard of femaleness and beauty.
It gets awesome at minute 19, but the whole thing is good, especially when Hank opens up to Jamie (Carolyn).

The Frida in the final scene is a nice touch.
