SNOOPER spelled backwards is REPOONS. Maybe Jack White should release an edition which has this title and plays from inner groove to out on the vinyl copy?

I prefer wit over clever. just saying.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Snooper. The music is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of musical theory most of the songs will go over a typical listener’s head. There’s also snooper’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization – his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realize that they’re not just great lyrics- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence, people who dislike Snooper truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the music in snooper’s existential song “stretching” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Connor Cummins’ genius unfolds itself through their speakers. What fools… how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Snooper tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Fun Fact: In order to promote Prince’s debut album, Warner ran a contest promoting the single “Soft And Wet”, where they gave away water beds. Neat

This feels like a riddle… and I like riddles, but I am no good at them.
