Ah, childbirth.
It was all nailmarks and "YOU DID THIS TO ME!" in an exorcist voice.
Hey, you seemed pretty happy about it at the time.

Capitalism!

I love that intro. It's my second favorite version, after the Mott the Hoople version, but I mean the actual riff in E.
It's the best song ever, it holds up almost no matter what you do to it.

Daffy Dick demonstrating how one can be exactly correct and completely a dick at the same time.
Win?

Damn straight.

"Damn, is there anyone who's played rock and roll since he cut Sun records with the King who hasn't lifted from him, whether they know it or not?"

My favorite guitar riff ever is from "Sweet Jane". My second favorite is from "Marie's the Name (of His Latest Flame), which I came to from Johnny Marr's appropriation for Rusholme Ruffians (I think).

I'll have to check that out.
I have a few of the solo albums, but I don't think I've ever listened to that one. So much music, so little time, and so on.

I don't click on stand-up videos with the idea "I'm just going to hate on this".
I want to be entertained. I want to enjoy it.
