Hip today


The article's title reminded me of a song.
Duh! Doesn't it always !...

The first single from Extreme's fourth (and unfortunately last) album was this straightforward, abrubt, fatalist song. The words follow:

"You'll be gone tomorrow,
You'll be gone tomorrow,
Gone tomorrow !

You're preoccupied with the latest fashion
Hip today, hip today
With wide open eyes on the next big thing you can cash in
Hip today, hip today

No never contrived
It's an overnight sensation
A clever disguise
That hides all of your pretension
Sally's selling out
Her seashells for souls
Hope i don't die
Before i get old

Hip today...
You'll be gone tomorrow,
You'll be gone tomorrow,
Gone tomorrow !

Dancing in your head visions of rave reviews
Hip today, hip today
Believing all that's read conceiving another guru
Hip today, hip today

Having made your bed
Falling short of filling shoes
You've been left for dead
'Cause there's always someone new
Sally's selling out
Her seashells for souls
Hope i don't die
Hope i don't die before i get old

Hip today...
You'll be gone tomorrow,
You'll be gone tomorrow,
Gone tomorrow !
"

          - in "Hip Today"

But the article's title has to do with another thing. I have sustained a new injury (a first for me, regarding the type of injury). It's a hip injury... which makes me uncomfortable when I sit, stand or lay down. Maybe I'm getting old. It's the hip today, an ankle tomorrow, the head the day after, and so on, and so forth...
