Don't Say "Vibe."

We get on the blue bus with Justin and Jane and travel to a spooky funeral for a horror film star, a sweaty beer filled UK dance club, and a smoke filled room with velvet curtains and we run screaming instead of walking on down the hall. On the way we take detours into British cuisine, songs you should not put on mix tapes and a missed opportunity to see The Beatles in concert. We try to avoid using the word "vibe" while describing The Stone Roses' "Fool's Gold," Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead," and The Doors' "The End." And we return to the "Cheery Songs About Dysfunctional Relationships" file with a song by Michael Nesmith that was rejected by the producers of the Monkees, but became a hit for the Stone Poneys by way of a New York bluegrass band.
