We have lost Smashmouth’s lead singer, Steve, at the tender age of 56. A supporter of trans rights, and the freedom of signed speech to make an L on one’s own forehead as a judgement to others, he will be missed.
Copy-pasted from the other thread, here is his best known song, transported to Aramaic and back again, so that we may know the biblically accurate nature of the work:
There was one who said unto me that the universe
was going to cause me to tremble,
That I am not the sharpest cutting implement in the storehouse.
She had the appearance unto me as a stupid one,
With her finger and her thumb
In the frame of a Greek gamma upon her forehead.
Behold, the years begin coming, and do not cease from coming.
Fed unto the axioms, and I fell upon the earth and ran.
It was not acceptable if not to live for the sake of pleasurable things.
Your brain increases its wisdom, but your heart
increases its stupidity.
A great amount to do, a great amount to see,
Therefore, there is no difficult problem if we take the streets of the backside.
You will not know if you do not go.
You will not shine if you do not glow.
Behold currently! You are entirely a star child!
Begin your power! Go! Laugh!
Behold currently! You are a master of the music!
Begin your singing! Acquire your wages!
All that sparkles is gold!
Comets alone shatter the frame!
