‘Low-Hanging Fruit’By Randy Rainbowc.2024, St. Martin’s Press$28/224 pages Whine, whine, whine. You got something to say, say it.
Got an opinion? The world is waiting. It doesn’t do any good to mutter, sputter, or whine when something’s bothering you. As in the new book, “Low-Hanging Fruit” by Randy Rainbow, take it to the complaint department.
Randy Rainbow has a lot to say, and he’s not afraid to say it. For starters, he’s “resigning from trying to fix you, effective immediately.” Any boneheaded thing you want to do now, whatever.
Nothing is his responsibility anymore. He has other issues to worry about. “The truth is,” he says, “I have a lot of complaints about a lot of things.” There are right ways of doing things, he says, and there are wrong ways and we just all really need to know the difference – especially if you’re a “Karen.” He’s compassionate if you were born with that name, but not too much. “I’m a flamboyant homosexual who’s lived my entire life with the name Randy Rainbow, so you’ll get little sympathy from me in this department.” Other than that, you may wonder what Rainbow’s (ahem) “position” is: he’s actually thinking about running for president as a member of “a Rainbow coalition…” He doesn’t have much experience but, he says, if there’s one thing we’ve learned in the past few years, that doesn’t matter at all.
