The venue is called “Spunk”. Are they aware this is vulgar slang for semen? It feels more than creepy to hear Lloyd asking people to join him at “Spunk”. Double entendre there - He could be asking you to join him at Spunk or be inviting you to visit his bedroom, where the sheets are encrusted in days-old spunk.
I could email the owner/manager and alert them to his activities, but I’d better not, lest the ownership find themselves the perfect poster boy for a club named “Spunk”.
”community of songwriters”
He’s always granting himself exalted titles - “Senior Editor”, “Director”, “CEO”, and now he’s one of a “community of songwriters”. No, call it what it is. Bob Dylan and Pete Townshend are songwriters. These clowns are amateur musicians.
And this particular clown’s “greatest hit” is a song he wrote about “falling out of love”. Though it’s clear he intends this as a message of raw emotion, when you know the context behind it all it’s a wonder he ever brought himself to write that about the breakup of his marriage. Or was it the “break-up” with the sex worker he dated? Either way, it lessens the emotional aspect of it when you consider how things really went down and how he cut his holiday short, attempting to save a doomed marriage.
The lyric “fresh out of fucks to give” would be better attributed to his ex. She’s the one who called time on their marriage after all, though he’s likely thinking of his escape to Thailand. The song reeks of a man who is trying to justify himself and his actions over a failed marriage he played a huge part in perpetuating.
Seriously though, for a city like Zagreb, it’s probably best to not limit yourself to musicians playing original music. Most people there won’t care due to the language barrier and would likely welcome a familiar cover song they can sing and dance along to.
But Jabba the Hutt wants to be called a “songwriter”.
For fans of Boogie Nights, we’re at the part in the Lloyd Evans movie where a broke and strung-out on drugs Dirk is threatening karate moves against the studio owner who won’t give him the demos without payment.
”We’re guaranteed a record deal, our stuff is THAT good!”
