Girls vs Doves

(This seems like a book that is for me to read for sure even though it’s about how to make your farm have modern countertops or something.)

Yesterday I was listening to some Huey Lewis and the News again like my brother is always saying to with his “hey go listen to this right now or I’ll lock you out of the house again” voice that he liked to use when we were being kids.

One of the songs is the happy-go-lucky one about how love can be so powerful and a skateboarding cool guy.

It’s one of the ones that happened in a movie and that movie was Back to Some Future.

Since I was a smaller version of me I always thought it went like this:

Chain your heart,
To a little white girl,

Even when I was that little fella I was thinking “oh man I hope Huey’s grandpa doesn’t own slaves” because that seemed weird in a way that was bad.

Well, just like with my special cucumber/pickle connection, I only did a realization moment here in my adult experience that it’s like this:

Chain your heart,
To a little white dove,

Still that’s not making all my senses click but at least it rhymes in the song now and doesn’t need the Constitution to step in.

Don’t be a grouch.

    Hearts vs Hawks, lol: another realization moment with this song and you can free the bird / things start clicking. smaller spaeth may have been on to something too. like this: heart > girl to heart > dove to hawk > dove. the senses will agree, especially when you take into account the chain > change part of the equation. plus, doves can't be chained. that would be heavy and sad. changed . . . 'cause it's “not just a feeling” lolol.

    that would have been an interesting one to prove in court on how “the music made me do it”

    Wait a minute, i thought it was “Change your heart / To a little white dove,” as in “[Love will/can] change your heart…”

    O christ, i hate Huey Lewis and the News.
