David Foster Wallace spoke on the merits of shitty pop culture

don't worry about candy

people who don't like sweets love to talk about their tastes as if this fact alone made them a good person. "a little sweet for MY taste," they chuckle whenever possible. well i like maple syrup and sour candy. i'd eat cake or waffles every meal if it wouldn't make me fat.

lines from incarnations of "a thousand kisses deep" - leonard cohen

"my mirror twin,

my next of kin,

i'd know you in my sleep.

and who but you would take me in

a thousand kisses deep?

our perfect porn aristocrat,

so elegant and cheap.

i'm old but i'm still into that,

a thousand kisses deep.

i'm good at love,

i'm good at hate,

it's in between i freeze.

been working out but it's too late,

it's been too late for years.

there's no forsaking what you love -

no existential leap -

as witnessed here in time and blood,

a thousand kisses deep.

but you look good

(you really do),

they love you on the street.

if you were here

i'd kneel for you,

a thousand kisses deep"

not crazy about

students who write poetry

just because they're sad
