Netflix has The Wire on disc only.

This movie is actually just a remake of Supervan.

I'm pretty sure I heard this one before.

As long as it doesn't involve contacts, I think I'm OK.

Nope, Billy Joel's Greatest Hits 1 and 2 fit on one cassette. You were right.

Get 'em … 12-year-old me
It's really happening. You can see them rapping and stuff.

I'm guessing that job does not include health care or life insurance benefits … and that the position opens up fairly frequently.

Alleys roam?

I, too, don't think "We Didn't Start the Fire" is nearly as awful as I'm supposed to. I was a middle schooler who'd nearly worn out my cassette of Joel's "Greatest Hits Vol I and II" when the song came out, so that probably had some bearing on it. But it never struck me as a Boomer apologia. It's not like it the "Hey,

"We watched Titanic and it didn't make us sad,
I took you to Best Buy, you took me home to meet your mom and dad."

May I add that "stone cold munchin'" is a fantastic use of the English language.

DeNiro turns up in a lot of questionable lyrics, apparently.

Uncle Kracker actually addresses this in one of his songs: "Is that Kracker with a C No Kracker with a K Kracker mother fucker all God damn day."

Rapture
So I was listening to some Blondie the other day, and I realized that I didn't really know what Debbie was rapping about, so I took the time to read the lyrics, and oh boy …

Oh, THAT Harry.

That line is epic. There is nothing that 100 men or more could ever do to convince me it isn't genius.

Abracadabra!

Yes, yes, yes, but how many times CAN a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see?

I had stopped thinking about it, until Tobias brought up this movie and reminded me of the scene where she starts aggressively rubbing her eye.
