You like me because I’m a scoundrel…
Oh WOW! Today Distracted by Star Wars embedded the song “Scoundrel” by the band Twin Sister. They were a Star Wars-inspired funk band (yes, really) that performed SW-related song in full costume. (Their original name was “Boba Fett,” but Lucas made them change it.) I actually saw them perform in the summer of 1996! I went to the Cornerstone Festival (which, as you might imagine, is a story unto itself) and they were performing in one of the smaller side tents. I remember them playing “Scoundrel,” a song “about racism” called “We Don’t Serve Their Kind Here,” a song about Cloud City, etc. I loved them so much I bought their cassette and played the heck out of it for a year. Then I lost it. A few years later, I actually found it at an ex-boyfriend’s place and the bastard had TAPED OVER IT. So I haven’t heard any of these songs in over eleven years…
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
