Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for June 04, 2020

Give that man’s underwear a wedgie. It might wake him up.

Okay, Wedgie.

Ruben, you were funny then. I have high hopes for you tomorrow…

Just wait a quarter century, Ruben. There’s still quinoa kale and microgreen salad eating, PBR swilling, man bun and neckbeard wearing hipsters to poke fun at!

Watching the documentary Laurel Canyon last night, I realized how little my Wedgie generation actually accomplished that was either cool or radical. I did get high a lot, so there’s that.

is there a joke here?

How about some Zima?!

Mostly wry commentary.

Born in ’62. I remember the moon landing, and Watergate on the TV constantly (I was watching when RN flew off into the sunset). I was in Philly for the Bicentennial, just by happenstance, but it was just a bunch of boring speeches. I do know someone my age that hit it big in politics… some Hawaiian dude.

Not one of Bolling’s better efforts.

He maybe disaffected but his product placement is spot on!!

Mr. Bolling is talkin’ ‘bout my generation here. Also, doing a ton of product placement.

Thanks, I could never understand the lyrics to “Kung Fu Fighting.”

I can’t unpack all the metaness: reading in 2020 a Ruben from 1994 with a contemporary look at people born in the early 1960s, from the perspective of a person born on Neptune.
