Rock N Roll McDonalds

And now for something completely different.

These video game cross stitches are fine and dandy. It’s fun to take something out of a modern context and render it in an folksy medium. It’s a tad clever and a tiny bit subversive and good old fashioned fanboy fun.

The thing is, that’s just about all I’ve done for the past two years. Sure, I made a bunch of Subversive Cross Stitch stuff that first Christmas, but ever since it’s been all video games and Apple stuff. I came across this sampler on Flickr one day that was based on the artwork of Craig Robinson and I saw Wesley and I thought it’d be great to do something with his lyrics.

And so I did. These are from Rock N Roll McDonalds though Wesley fans will notice that I’ve cut a line out. I thought it’d look better with only three lines, having more of a haiku sort of feeling. Also “they serve Big Macs” is quite a bit shorter than the other lines.

By they way, the title of this song refers to an actual place in Chicago. It’s really called the Rock N Roll McDonalds.
