" I recently saw a bio that Bob Mould had written about his career, and he didn’t even include in his bio that he had played for Hüsker Dü—didn’t even put it in there." This is not a true statement. He goes into great detail about Husker Du in the book. He even tried to get the others on board to reclaim the catalog…

I think "misled by" as opposed to "buying in" is more truthful. But, yea, fuck those people, right? No happiness for you!

We're acknowledging that "essentialist gender bullshit" exists as a thing in this thread. The only given here is that you interjected in the middle of something and enjoy making assumptions. Please continue to ignore.

"She does not represent all or even most couples." - Don't know how you would know that but OK, how about just a *whole lot*? "Maybe she buys into essentialist gender bullshit." - I think that's the point I'm making and she's *far* from alone in buying into it. Would you agree with that?

The strawman was that I was arguing for some type of cliche proposal scenario that I was not advocating. "Why is a woman "pulling the trigger" necessarily emasculating?" I don't think it is. But I am a man. Why do you think it doesn't happen more often? Dan addresses some of it, I was just extrapolating.

Yeeaaaaa, it's probably more benign. Probably more like "Am I really, REALLY OK with being 'stuck' in this situation for the rest of my life?"

Once you have watched 10,000 hours of Doctor Who I'm pretty sure the Beeb sends you a certificate dubbing you a Time Lord.

Are you internet joking? Otherwise, you are making my point.

No, no, no. Stop setting up strawmen and pay attention. None of that sit-com surprise shit, just "who pulls the trigger" as Dan puts it. I doubt POPDAQ is an idiot. Yet it apparently never occurred to her to "pull the trigger". Why?

Also, regarding the comment about 'worrying about Bob': You might as well say you worry about men.

Dan is totally correct in his advice to POPDAQ. But here's the catch he misses: As soon as a woman feels like she has to do the asking she perceives an emasculation of the man. Consequently, she is then less attracted to him, so… why would she ask this emasculated stump to marry her? Honestly, it's 2013: How many of…

Tina talks like this. But Dina talks like this.

I'll just keep watching for all of the characters. Including Linda's sister. It's such a great show. I know I shouldn't but I let my 6 and 9 YO watch with me. Basically I have a Louise and Gene with Tina being equally distributed between them. Also, I don't know where they are getting that Gene will be gay. That boy…

It certainly has a 'fuck you' vibe to it. As in Greg Ginn making it clear that Black Flag is his and he can do what he wants with it, just you watch.

It is indeed their best song. And this movie sucks. Girl dragged me to it when it came out. Because of the AiC video I was hoping to see a film about heroin-addicted street youth. Instead we got this rom-com bullshit. The kind of guys who pitch light-rail systems for major cities did not go to Mudhoney shows.

I much prefer him as a poopy glam punk, that was kind of interesting. But later making the music as stoopid as his stage antics, that was a bad move. But one he probably couldn't avoid.

My first exposure to GG was in the mid-late 80s via the 'Public Animal #1' 7 inch EP on Black + Blue. He had the reputation by this point but he was far from 'legendary'. I was disappointed to here how shitty (ha ha) his later records were. Just not very good.

Would you say you got a little… *lost*?

HA! I still have the first 2 issues of all of these. It's hard to explain now but this was a HUGE deal at the time. And it was a huge failure.

Jake, *we're* stars.
