The Minders: “Red Admiral’s (Gonna Pass Me)”

June 2nd, 2006

Part one of the strangely named “Rogue Blogger” series finds our hero camped out in UK’s library with 15 minutes until they close. Will he be able to write up a post about The Minders in time? (Ed. note: I don’t want to ruin any surprises, but if you’re reading this it looks like I succeeded).

MP3: The Minders - Red Admiral’s (Gonna Pass Me)
I remember my English teachers talking about direct and indirect presentation, but no where did they ever mention non-presentation. As I’ve probably listened to “Red Admiral’s (Gonna Pass Me)” several dozen times, I realize that I’m not even sure who the Admiral is, let alone why his lapping of our protagonist is (presumably) such a bad thing. Thankfully the Minders manage to write a song that’s so wonderfully catchy that I could care less about these questions. I’ll be content to sing along, blissfully unaware of any symbolism or real life application.

I got moved in to our place in Lexington and it looks great! I even cooked food today (I made french fries out of potatoes. Every little victory counts, right?)
