“If you don’t like the media, be the media
…” SONG OF THE WEEK “Journalistic Girl”—This Kinks-influenced power pop tune is Part 2 of a song trilogy:
>Part 1: A teenaged female reporter collects guitar picks from her favorite bands while obsessively covering the music scene for the school paper. Meanwhile, her devoted boyfriend takes second place to her fanaticism.
>Part 2 (this song): Years pass. She is now a successful globe-trotting star journalist. Her high school sweetheart has grown up with her, but their relationship has not grown with time. This saddens him but she’s too preoccupied to see it.
>Part 3: She’s gone missing in a remote African war zone, and he takes it upon himself to brave the outback and find out what happened to her. A perilous mystery awaits…
This song first appeared on my YELLOW HOUSE album. Now remade, remodeled, and re-mastered (by Scott Francis) on my GRATEFUL CD.
