You'd have to be tello-pathic to work out what's actually going on with this transfer.

On a side note, the Bluenoses after Mirrallas... looked a good player for Belgium at the Euros (I have no idea how he has played for his club side), in fact he was the one who stood out for me, more so than Hazard or Afellay...

[BigChief]

All these jokes are telloble!

Does the accuracy of the degree that it's hip to be square not depend on the position of these observing a specific sub-culture though? If we assume that both being hip and being square are fairly fluid in terms of style at least then it's entirely possible that at some juncture a style of dress, speech or taste that had personally been considered by many as square could be observed at a later time by a alternative group as being hip? Or would that require the observer to recognise that a trend had therefore been square at a previous point and therefore, having been square in the past, was now impossible to be recogised as anything other than square?

I suppose you would require your sub-culture to replicate exactly the style that had previously been considered square too as otherwise it might not be hip to be square but merely hip to be quite similar to something that was previously considered square (but not quite the same) which would make the similarity quite hip but the extinct style would still in actuallity be square.

Hmmmmmmmm. What was Huey Lewis thinking?

That's an interesting and provocative post, Rowan.

I've done some in-depth research (I googled it and just looked at the results, without even bothering to follow a single link) and I can categorically say that Huey Lewis's entire oeuvre (i.e. the two songs I know of) is concerned not so much with tangible or even abstract things in themselves or even actions of or on these objects (mentioned or implied). Rather he seems to be taking us into a magical world where the qualities of objects exist independent of the objects themselves and any events that they cause or are caused to them.

The song 'Hip To Be Square' therefore needs to be understood as the antithesis of and counterpart to 'Bad Is Bad'. As well as, one would hope, a confession and prayer for forgiveness for all his musical crimes), the latter is not so much a tautology as the bald statement of an identity. The simplicity of this identity inevitably places a requirement on the listener to accept the juxtaposition of 'hip' and 'square' for what it is - a contradiction, not merely a paradox. The identity of 'bad'/'bad' epitomises rationality and logic, the light so bright that it blinds rather than illuminates, the dull, the prosaic, the humdrum and the real; 'hip'/'square' necessarily plunges the listener into a surrealist world where everything seems recognisable but nothing is what it seems, a nightmare of illusion and contradiction, a primeval world where the Id is in control and yet also, so devastatingly out of control, where anything might happen so long as it is nonsensical, deviant, lunatic and beyond calculation or expectation, a morass of plausible lies, chimeras and vapours, the ignoble, the unfriendly, the cunning and the damned.

i love you.

I think he meant it was hip to appropriate aspects of the square aesthetic. He just couldn't get that to scan.
