[Edited 7/14/07 8:57am] how is he out of touch with the times, if he's speaking of this "digital age"? "you could just page me" sounds better than "you could just 2-way me" or "you could just email me" ... he prefers seeing the person face-to-face rather than communication through these new technological ways. | |

No one "pages" anymore. I understand the line as is but it could have been written 15-20 years ago for all we know. I think its a great line it just seems anachronistic and I wonder if its intentional or just an old lyric. | |

Maybe he still uses that verb for text messaging someone. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

He doesn't like telephones, so maybe this is the next best thing.  | |
