Buy Booster Gold

Friday, April 7, 2023

He Gets High on You

I'm thinking pretty seriously about abandoning Twitter altogether, especially in the wake of the company adopting the Dogecoin icon as its logo. I tire of the new management's shenanigans.

And I have to say I'm going to miss it when I go. Where else could I see something like this?

With baseball season starting... I always figured there'd be one superhero who'd actually have a 'walk up' song, and that's Booster Gold. Something he could forcibly push & play over local phones and speakers, thanks to advanced tech. The tune? Tom Sawyer, by Rush @thedanjurgens April 3, 2023

If you're not familiar with "Tom Sawyer," go listen to it on Youtube.com

This is pretty fitting from just about every angle. Rush's sci-fi loving, envelope-pushing progressive-rock sounds (and mysterious lyrics) encapsulate the spirt of Booster Gold, just as Booster himself embodies Mark Twain's literary archetype of the (usually) well-intentioned but mischievous All-American Boy. In hindsight, it's an obvious pairing.

If you need me, Twitter, I'll be in the garage listening to my 1981 Rush Moving Pictures album on 8-track. Newer isn't always better.
