| What you get from Snoop’s "Paid
in Full," on the other hand, is the key to what’s always
made Snoop such an arresting figure: he sounds like a guy who’s
doing what he’s doing just for the hell of it, and who occasionally
is struck by how much fun he’s having. This is why, incidentally,
his more offensive verses slide right off you like water off a newly
waxed car: you feel like he’s just having fun, not meaning
any harm. And I’d go into more detail about all this, really
I would, but tomorrow I go out on tour and my already battered brain
is skipping some key points in the circuit. I’ll try to update
from wherever I am this time next week – really I will – but
in case our paths don’t cross until then, let me just say an
especially loud "thanks" to everyone who sent me birthday
wishes: it made my whole year. In the meantime, go listen to Snoop’s "Paid
in Full" if you get a chance and hopefully it will hold you
over. I’ll have it playing in my headphones for most of tomorrow
if you happen to see me headed down toward Virginia. Wave at me if
you do: I promise to wave back. |
