Jerry Joseph on Bright Young Thing -
I can’t count the times I’ve ripped off William Gibson.
While not a massive sci-fi aficionado, Williams Gibson has been a North Star of my imagination, and he’s often defined the way I think about different angles, about the future, society, and whatever darkness I’ve been drawn to, in and out of the years since Mona Lisa Overdrive. His essay on Steely Dan is my favorite piece of music journalism.
A lot of my songs like Pure Life, Krome Koran, and more, lift lines directly from him. Fortunately, I’m too obscure an artist to hit his or his attorneys’ radar…
Bright Young Thing was a chapter title, I can’t remember which book. A cursory google search, reveals, I’m not the only person who thought it was a cool title… Marylin Manson? Geez….
This song appears (live) on Mouthful of Copper... and snapshot of whatever was happening that year, sadly, Gaza, at the forefront of the news. The chemical major and the noodle disdaining ballerina, were real characters in my life… It must have been right after the WTO riots / protests in Seattle. This song was all about utilizing Junior Rupple - Godfather of Salt Lake City punk rock, aesthetic skills... cool tune... sorry Mr. Gibson. – Jerry Joseph
