No Trans Am-bush

Trans AmAs you can read below, I was worried that my piece on the hyper-political band Trans Am was killed because of content too strong for the minds of Union-Tribune readers. Not so. They just spaced...which says my writing isn't that memorable I guess. Now I know how that red-faced guy screaming at an editor feels when his Letter to the Editor doesn't get printed. Somehow our puny monkey minds always suspect a conspiracy behind each slight, sling or arrow. No conspiracy, just some overworked schmuck forgot to put it in the paper. Fishbone said it best with their awesome album title: "Give a Monkey a Brain, and He'll Swear He's the Center of the Universe." Cheers, cn
