Black Coffee In Bed

I worked at a radio station during the early to mid 1980's, when "disposable music" was at it's peak. I swiped this title from a band called "Squeeze" formerly "U.K. Squeeze". Just because I labeled the music 'disposable' doesn't mean that I don't like it, I have some very fond memories of that era, but let's face it. Duran Duran, The Thompson Twins, & Thomas Dolby aren't going to make it into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. They'll be swept under the rug, stuffed into an obscure corner of the trivia pile.
In any case, science marches on, and every day, some new revelation comes out about our lifestyles. First it was discovered that there's something in coffee that has amazing antioxident properties, then it was discovered that caffeine has all kinds of negative side effects. Now they say that preganant women shouldn't drink more than one cup of coffee a day. What should we believe? I personally don't care!! Coffee sucks! Just the way it smells makes me wonder how anyone can put that in their mouth? Yet Americans go to extreme lengths to get the crap. Starbucks is a wonder unto itself. For a while there was a big debate about Krispy Kreme vs. Dunkin Donuts. People told me that the KKs blew away the DDs, but the Krispy Kremes on Long Isand all went out of biz. Many people speculated that it was because their coffee was nowhere close to DDs. No matter how many Dunkin Donuts are in or around your town, there's always room for one more, and they all seem to thrive. One opened up in my area recently and it's across the street from where I buy my newspaper . Every morning I watch people make suicidal maneuvers that would have had Evel Knieval shitting in his pants, trying to whip into the parking lot of the local DD. It's all for that coffee buzz. Plus the fact that where all overworked, overstressed and trying to do eight and a half million things at one time, that people need to gnash their teeth to get their caffeine jolt and the sugar rush. And we wonder why Americans are so obese? Hmmmmmmm. I'll take the disposable music of the 1980's over coffee any day of the week!
