There's an interesting and fun blog which I admire:
Style Rookie,
or
Tavi Gevinson's Blog.
She began writing her fashion-focused site four years ago when she was twelve.
(A precocious young human.)
She references many cultural influences that I don't know about or relate to, and many that I do! (I always have this moment of being startled and -- 'how does this kid know my favorite Bob Dylan songs, and whatever...' -- but of course with the internet, now, people have access to things....And am guessing she has hip, thoughtful parents.
One of her posts was unexpectedly titled,
"caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke".
"Caught a trucker out of Philly"...
Caught me by surprise....!
Hmmh, I thought. I never heard the song that that's from but I like it --
not to promote the smoking of anything illegal, but just the
cheerful, jaunty rhythm of the phrase.
song: "Wagon Wheel"
band: "Old Crow Medicine Show"
phrase:
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke.
It swings.
It rolls.
Ms. Gevinson writes more about fashion and style than I ever thought I would read anywhere -- what draws me to read it is actually the author's ENTHUSIASM for her topics and creativity in exploring ideas and concepts. Very independent thinker. I find inspiration there.
