In his (and other rich artists') defense, just because he wrote and sang the lyrics "All you need is love" and "Imagine no possessions/I wonder if you can," doesn't mean he necessarily advocated everyone, including himself, actually giving away everything they owned and trusting to divine providence to provide. …

Lucasfilm?  Wait, I thought Disney owned all of Star Wars now, and George Lucas was just counting his money, having changed all those billions of dollars into $1 bills.  What's this "offer from Lucasfilm" shit?  Does this mean that George Lucas is still calling some shots around there?

Meanwhile, Prince's line of ass-less matador togs have been sitting, unsold and collecting dust, for 20 years.

I think John's treatment of Julian (ranging from indifference to contemptuous neglect), quite apart from anything having to do with Yoko, shows that he could be a right cunt to those who loved him.  Lots of people can be this way, especially to spouses; but it takes a special kind of mental illness to be so cold and…

And according to Wikipedia, Pete Best has been married to the same lady for 50 years, has kids, grandkids, and is apparently fairly happy, if a bit dull.

Hey, at least you discussed this before moving in together.  That's not the kind of thing I'd want to have a fight about on, oh, day 2 or 3, when I'm cooking up some pork.  'Cause I probably wouldn't go more than 2 or 3 days without eating some swine.

Uma?

I imagine they don't want it in their home.  It's unclean.

It fills me with the urge to DEFECATE!

Darkness falls across the land
the midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood
to terrorize y'all's neighborhood.
And whosoever shall be found
without the soul for getting down
must stand and face the hounds of hell
and rot inside a corpse's shell.

Speaking of murdered Beatles, can we make an argument that George Harrison was also murdered?  I heard that his death was hastened due to complications from the stabbing he suffered a couple of years earlier.  I'm sure he wasn't in great health anyway, but getting stabbed by that dude couldn't have helped his…

@avclub-71a04561e43c4ba6db6663c142598f96:disqus , as far as I'm concerned, there is everything to love, and nothing to hate, about "The Fly."  Probably the whole album, but that song in particular is one of my favorites among their achievements.

Ben: I didn’t know you were into music. I know you’re a DJ, but I’ve heard your show.

I only remember ever hearing "Connection," and that was on a Budweiser ad.  I finally tracked this album down a few years ago, and I've really liked it.  "Car Song" is pretty sexy.

Hmm.  I think "hobo murder ideas" will be the next regular thread on the Tolerability Index comments.

Puts me in mind of:

Breaking Bad contains multitudes.

PHRASING!

What if you find a note on that drop point in reply to yours this weekend, and then you put this printed thread down as a response to that?  An internet comment thread printed off and "posted" as a response in a paper-based, tit-for-tat comment exchange!  There's an artsy-fartsy short film to be made about this.

Yes!  Urban planner here — newly minted AICP, even, so this stuff is fairly fresh in my mind.  Most cities that have zoning will have a section of the zoning ordinance that deals with parking.  Usually it's a formula, with each residential zone requiring a certain number of off-street parking spaces (either surface…
