Twee Kitten review of Alice In The Underworld
by Keith Mclachlan

I find myself sometimes nearly narcoleptic while consumed in my daydreaming these days a recent one has been my imagining the "pop-star" Bid appearing on the Charlie Rose show where the intrepid reporter in his inimitably pukey style leans his head to the table and reaches his left hand to the edge of that same table and grabs hold because the momentum of the next softball he is about to hurl is so great as to require him to reestablish his foundation on terra firma and finally Charles asks so Bid what do you think of Laura Bush's hair am i correct in assuming it's conservative appeal masks an assertion that everything really is ok? Bid clearly under the spell of some Mousseronian bark extract enchants Charlie with an explanation of the Coen brother's misuse of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in their most recent film 'You see the theory deals with paired properites like Time and energy which have a 'canonical conjugate variables... (at this point Charlie starts constructing his next question about wheter Kathleen Hanna would make a good pope) and as such the taxi cab pilot from wings erred as do moist social scientists when they claim nothing is truly knowable because the interaction of the observer affects all processes.' Charlie thrown for a loop says then 'Raising Arizona' was a hoot I wonder why 'huggies' and not 'Pampers'? Then Bid clearly tired from this moves on to a lengthy expansion of the genesis of his ideal imaginary world which resides somewhere near Kevin Barnes cosmopolis along the space-time continuum and the use of proper English in pop music lyrics as being the new rock-and'roll of our times. He manages, increduously, to bring up the exciting possibilities of a merger of Mousseron and Lecithin's frozen Island but worries about the social darwinistic aspects of the hyena cicadas spoiling the purple rushes and whether his fair maidens might be relegated to supporting roles behind the more exuberant creations of Mr. Barnes. Two giants then, like Sendak and Dahl competing within the same pages, this is a daydream worth exploring. Bid with his uncommon intelligence and Kevin with his unfettered joy. Marvelous! But suddenly the monotonic inquest of a certain Mr. Rose reacquaints me with the world and instead of Bid I find he is speaking with E.J. Dionne and there are practically toasts to celebrate the gutting of the first amendment by Marty Meehan. Woo Hoo! Surely Mousseron is a dictatorship, benevolent is it's iron fist imposing only fanciful folk pop nuggets to his subjects, his minions 7 fair ladies of song, and his kingdom a sanctuary of peace.
