Or Is It?
Walking down the hallway today I was behind a fine young lad wearing a black t-shirt with words on the back. The shirt was advertising the heavy-metal band Slipknot’s 2009 World Tour, which apparently was charmingly billed “All Hope Is Gone”. After the wave of sheer class emanating from this t-shirt washed over me, I had to laugh at the paradox of Slipknot attempting to communicate to people that all their hope is gone, while at the same time trying to drum up excitement for their tour. Hopelessness as a motivator - there’s a new idea.
