Dog and Pony

About Me

Sometimes its easier to say what something is not.
Dog and Pony, for example, is not here to rock you. We are not concerned with your preferences or druthers, and we refuse to give the people what they want. We are not from southern California, do not remain tan all year long, and we certainly dont listen to the God-Damned Beatles. We are not here to rock you, though we certainly will.
We have no money. Our families have no money, no political influence. Cabs dont stop to pick us up. We cant get good jobs because rich, old, WASPY assholes control them all, the very same men that keep the middle down and the low lower. Their control system starts with the food we eat, continues with their textbooks, "mass-media" and public schools, with teachers that dont realize they are empowering a system that keeps their kind down, the low, the middle. Borrow a fortune to pay for their secondary schools: now youre indebted to, and educated by, a system that wants to keep you dumb. So that youll close your eyes and pay up. We all see it, but most can't realize it. If you dont play their game, you wont play any game.
We exist outside of the game. We are the losers, from a loser town, except that our eyes are now open. We will become the new game. Meet the new boss, different from the old boss. Not the voice of the new generation, but a voice for the new education.
Dog and Pony is the sound of social enlightenment, the soundtrack to the new program(ing). A body that ignores us is a body that ignores itself. We do not follow trends, do not follow advice, do not follow. Many will not, actually cannot, understand why our message offends their sensibilities; their minds cannot break free from the program. Dog and Pony are the audio embodiment of the new program, the free program.
