alison’s got a rocket and you bet i’m going on it…
Dear Alison,
It must be said that I really took the news of your current relationship really hard. It was an icy dagger right through my vacant heart and left a wound I’m sure will never heal fully. I’m sure I’m not the only one who felt the backhand slap across the face that is disappointment over and over when we all found out. I was about to give up my fanboy attachment to you forever.
Then came Rocket… How cruel can you be, Alison? You break my heart and the just a few short weeks later, you unleash four minutes of pure unadulterated 80s sophisto-pop that threatens to send me into a state of…Oooohhh…
What was I saying? Ahh yes… Rocket is so simple, subtle like a pistol-whip across the back of the head…it’s exactly the song we needed to officially ring in the new year and decade. How did you know I’m such a sucker for those 80s synth lead hits? You knew exactly what to do in order to bring me back into the fold! So cruel and yet so right…
I could never leave you.
Yours forever,
Billy Suede.
