Jason Rubero: Music

Soap Operas Suck (1987)

(Jason Rubero)

OK.... this is sarcasm at it's peak (for me).  I wrote it when I was still a teenager, and I guess I just ran with it - tongue in cheek - to the bitter end.

A pop song with an attitude.  Kinda funny.  I especially like the staccato middle-8 ('Charles and Chauncy, Morgan and Rick....') and the part about all the commercial products being 'flogged' on the airwaves.

Finally, there's a *wicked* (LOL!) guitar solo that was recorded before I knew how to tune my guitar, and a fairly amusing fake-English accent designed to enhance some of the punkish attitude. 

Slightly embarrassing, but who among us was above reproach at age 19?  Who??
