The Polyphonic Spree is not a cult
Ok so maybe they are a cult, but you know what? Who gives a rat’s ass! What do people have against music that makes you feel happy, makes you close your eyes and see sunshine and rainbows and bunnies and unicorns, without the pesky cost and side effects of drugs and alcohol?
I think it’s the ever-pervasive idea of the American individual, the cowboy, the lone ranger… look at Morning Musume in Japan! There’s like 30 iof them and no one thinks they’re a cult! The whole anti-communist witch hunts of the McCarthy era made everyone forget that it’s ok to be social, it’s ok to have a community… The Polyphonic Spree knows this. Are they the only ones?
Did you know that Girl Scouts aren’t allowed to be in malls in Southern CA because of laws saying that a gathering of over 5 people constitutes a “gang”? GIRL SCOUTS! Yes, they’re annoying, but their cookies! Their cookies are so delicious!
