Hey, the lyrics clearly state:
He's in love with the rocknroll world,
He's in love with getting stoned, whoa,
He's in love with the rocknroll world
He don't like his porridge donut.

Thanks for the column! Especially the Amebix and Rwake stuff. Awesome.

Thanks for this. It was a big surprise to see Oi! as a G to G subject. Well done.

I used to want to double as the Police Woman's backdoor pilot, too. Angie Dickenson, mm.

I was going to write a comment about Noel Murray's misuse of the word "enormity," which normally means monstrousness or outrageousness. But then I see, using my dictionary that is always right here by my side, that use of the word as a synonym for immenseness is also acceptable.

Totz, Jr., thanks for fact-checking my comment. I should have worded it more conditionally without making an erroneous assertion of fact. But the point remains that print dictionaries are not outdated just because electronic alternatives exist. But I forgot where I was.

I feel the same way about Night Train.

Well, cassettes aren't being manufactured anymore, and that's why cassette players are obsolete. But there are still words, having definitions, no? A physical dictionary is not obsolete in the sense that the function it performs is no longer useful. Thus my query.

On tape!

Great article about a band I have thought I hated for decades! In the early 80s I was exactly the young earnest "rebel" who would have been all up in arms about the injustice of the Clash being robbed of their promotional due by bribery and corruption and whatnot.

Planking?

Who would have guessed that she shaves her legs?

Welcome back, but…
This is all that came out since November?

The only time a cute girl ever flashed her tits at my fiddle playing was the first time I played Devil Went Down to Georgia with a band. People who were too young to be around when that song was played and played and played on the radio tend to love it. People who were adults when it was overplayed tend to hate the…

The Star Spangled Banner
I loved our country's national anthem when I was 5 and 6 and 7 years old. All that shit about bombs and rockets was cool. And the Bicentennial was coming soon! Exciting!

Superstition
"The medieval era, whe[n] the educated and ignorant alike make life-and-death decisions based on superstition."

Frequently people say that a movie, like Trainspotting, or book, like Junkie, or musician, like AIC, shows how horrible drug addiction is, and that, thus, the movie or book or musician could not possibly have been glorifying drug abuse. I have to say, though, that the horrible nature of addiction is PART OF THE…
