Shakey says keep blogging

My daily commute is usually me shuffling through songs on my iPod as I dodge traffic in my car. I've been driving the same route for about 13 years now, so it's getting pretty robotic.

Today, Neil Young popped on the list. This song's not very old. It's the eponymous Fork in the Road, which was a pitch-perfect send up to the recession. It really affected me in a time when the world was going more crazy than usual.

Anyway, I had to smirk when Shakey blasted out this verse:
Keep on bloggin'
'Til the power goes out
Your battery's dead
Twist and shout

Immediately preceding this great lyric is:
Download this
Sounds like shit

On the knee-slapping video of this bit, he has a pair of headphones plugged into an actual apple. After he sings that bit, he takes a bite out of the apple. Funny stuff, but it's one hell of an irony that I love Neil so much I had Keep on Rockin' in the Free World engraved on the back of my ipod.
