A new Filk!

[kallistii]

Well, I couldn't get to sleep, being too inspired by a couple of hours of Peter Gabriel in 5.1 surround sound...so I wrote a filk. I'm not worried about too many people trying to steal it, since not a whole lot of people can play the tune very well...you see, it's to the Rush tune, The Trees, one of my fav songs to play on guitar for like forever. It is called "The Fans"...So here are the lyrics:

The Fans

There is unrest on the concom
There's trouble with the fen
For Truefen want more panels
and Mediafen can't comprehend.

The trouble with the truefen
And they're quite convinced their right
they say media fen read nothing
and are beedazeled by the light

But those fen can help their feelings
if they like TV and films
And they wonder why the truefen
can't be happy with their rooms?

There is unrest on the concom
and the Gophers all have flead
As the Truefen scream opression
And Mediafen shake their heads

So the truefen spawned their own con
to promote a reader's right
"The fakefans don't read nothing
stare like lemings at the light"

Now there's no more fan oppression
for the split one con in two
So the Truefans are now happy
And the Mediafen are too!

Is that a true story? Did the con*con fo rte con you mentioned when you were up split into to groups? If so, that doesn't bode well.

It's not a true story, but it does represent a common friction at a number of SF cons...I hope to get to Georgia Filk next weekend...and this would be a song I would play...any excuse to play The Trees...
