Song for a future generation.

a part from The Strokes' - "The other side":

"I hate them all, I hate them all
I hate myself
For hating them
so I'll drink some more
I'll love them all
I'll drink even more
I'll hate them even more than I did before"

A friend of mine mentioned today this piece, which he considers to be great song writing, with top-notch lyrics, which he feels are superior to his.
it got me thinking.

The Strokes have "classic" written all over them.
in twenty years these songs will be for someone who was born yesterday what Iggy Pop is for me.
something from another dimension, untouchable, frozen in time, an eternal mystery.
how ridiculous this all is, generated by hype and wide, blank expressions. oouh!
