Reminds me of the movie "Repo Man." Harry Dean Stanton says "let's go get a drink." They go into a quick mart and they find six packs of white cans labeled "Drink" and that's it.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoGeneric beer really was a thing in the US. http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/general-generic-beer/7987/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/general-generic-beer/7987/ I don't know if generic "Drink" was real or a projection of generic beer. Dunno if it was intentional or not, but this was Mike Nesmith using the "cheepnis" concept Zappa developed in a different way. Zappa meant cheezy rubber-spider horror movie artifacts; I'd say Nesmith was identifying the permanent recession as a driver for punk culture. It also has overtones of "victory gin" from 1984.
