Kaden frequently ships me over little cultural gems I never would have found on my own. He outdid himself tonight.
I’d never heard of Def Poetry, and if I had, would’ve written it off – it’s the “Def,” you see, brings up terrible memories of my hair-band days, when I thought bands such as Def Leppard were the shit. But Kaden knows that all he has to do is hook me with a quote.
Try this one: “Knowledge cures ignorance. So if you’re in the know… be fucking contagious!”
If that’s not an Elitist Bastards battle cry, I don’t know what is.
And the rest simply blew me away:
Do you have chills? I have chills. Fucking outstanding, that is. It’s raw, revealing poetry at its absolute best.
Fucking contagious, indeed.
