Chris Connelly: obsessed with bugs?

YOU be the judge!

“as the insects multiply and ignite”

“insect inject back to the subject”

“a hungry insect and the way it stings”

“like an insect in its death throes”

“while the insects give you head”

“I screamed my insect bitter needs”

“100,000 vagabond insects”

i think connelly’s obsessed with franz kafka’s “the metamorphosis”:

One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. He lay on his armour-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off completely, could hardly stay in place. His numerous legs, pitifully thin in comparison to the rest of his circumference, flickered helplessly before his eyes.

CREEPY!

‘The Metamorphosis’ is one of the best stories ever written by Kafka or any author and the opening paragraph is one of the most unique and brilliant passages ever put to paper. If Connelly is obsessed with it, he has every right to be.

or, it could just be a bug thing.

(“connelly, you there? yeah me ,ed. what the hell’s up with the bug thing? WHAT? you just had a snack at the roachcoach outside reckless?
we’re prayin’ for you, man”)
oh geez…

Fuck yeah. Nuff said.

Speaking of bugs, do any of you eat mealworms?

[laugh]
dude… wtf is that? are you talking about yard worms that are usually eaten (by a 7-12 year olds) as an initiation into some neighborhood club?

Those things isolated may not be that bad but all together like that, wriggling around is very off-putting.

never thought about it…same could be said for references to the bible and to the story of Icarus & daedelus in my lyrics

like shootin’ fish (or insects) in a barrell

(okay. now i do need to jump on a plane, beat the crap out of afra and get some pics of connelly with the…uh…potential…barrell outfit–could happen.)
