Nay to Howard …
… yea to Paul Greengrass.

Noooooooooo!
Not "St Elmo's Fire"!
(And isn't it "Passionate Kisses" by Lucinda Williams?)

(Nodding)

"China" …
… beeyotch!
Oh, Dana Delaney and the indelible mark you left on a 13- 15-year-old AUCE …
(I guess I wasn't as Avenging, but had already achieved the level of employment I currently enjoy.)

Spearhead was even pretty rad around the early 2000s — I saw 'em a couple times in the Free and Independent Republic of Boulder.
Is appearing on "NOW" the kind of thing the individual artist would even have control over?
Yup: It starts with hippie poon, then you stop wearing shoes, and sooner or later you inevitably…

"Entitled" …
… means something different than "titled."
Because I feel I must share my take on usage with the digital Tower of Babel that is the Internet.

Oops! No, wait! It's 4.21! I'm still high!

Due credit
I scrolled through and didn't see anybody else grouch about this, so …
… While Reznor has been capable of eloquence, including his reinterpretation of "Hurt," it WAS Cash originally.

"Feat of Clay" …
… And while I'm at it, "chickenshit."

I didn't come here to make friends …
… I came here to be a crank about grammar and spelling.
COME AT ME, BRO!

Trains
Don't Teabaggers hate them, and shouldn't the Department of Irony look into this matter?

Wheels within wheels, fires within fires …
… and quotes within quotes: Shouldn't it have been, "'Competitive Wine Tasting' was fine"?

Lou Vega
Is he related to Lou Bega, the dude who did "Mambo No. 5"?

Plural possessive …
… would be "the Bradens' " (s, then apostrophe).
Unless the Braden is like the Kurgan from "Highlander."
*SIGH*

"Anathem"
Yup, yup, yup: Totally agree, especially after the way "Snow Crash" grabbed me by the balls.
Same with "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell."

Though "Way to Salvation" got overshadowed by "Detachable Penis," it was vastly underrated, and I listened to it a TON my freshman year.
@ Bob: You should listen to his "Outlaw Country" show on satellite radio …

"National Lampoon's Vacation"
Saw it edited for TV the first few times. Didn't realize it was all about pot until I was in college.

Nonessential clauses
"Black's mother Georgina Kelly" or "Black's mother, comma, Georgina Kelly, comma … "

"I am vengeance! I am the night!"
"I … AM … THE AUCE!"
(Which rhymes with "sauce," BTW. Or the first part of "awesome.")

R.I.P., Nate Dogg …
… the Robert Horry of hip-hop.
