And the guy says, "how do you think I rang the doorbell!"

Avril Lavigne - "Complicated"

I was thinking about this and I concluded that if I couldn't understand any of the lyrics to What's Up, I might even like it.  Certainly my loathing would be dramatically reduced.  Because, for all it's fake "revolution" "empowerment" bullshit, it's a damn catchy song that gets stuck in my head at the mere mention…

It works because the oboe is like the fiddle of the double reed family.

I'm considering becoming Orthodox in order to make an excuse for wearing an awesome hat.

Good joke.  Everybody laugh.

Isn't that pretty common with long-running YA series'?

Pokemon theme song get way more rockin' in the second verse.

Oh absolutely.
Though, when Howlin' Wolf sings "I eats mo' chicken than a man seen" it hits me a little different than when a sissy well-educated folk revivalist tries to imitate the charming mannerisms of his heroes.  I'm not gonna say a folk revivalist can't do that, but if he goes overboard I'm gonna make fun of…

And how can there be "ain't no one for to give you no pain"?  What does the for signify?  These are the burning questions that keep me awake when I should be asleep and distracted when I should be awake.

If you love Ziggy Stardust you should enjoy Aladdin Sane and The Man Who Sold The World 'cause those are his other albums that most resemble that style.  Hunky Dory is quite boring in my opinion; too much music hall not enough rock and roll.  Station to Station is a good bridge between his earlier style and his Berlin…

I'm a big Bowie fan, but I'm not quite enough of a fan to pollute my PC with the likes of iTunes/Quicktime/Apple Updater/whatever the hell they bundle with it now.

Just so we're all clear, there's a 60.47% chance of one or more future rapists in an uncorrelated set of 15 little boys, assuming it's 6% chance per boy, and assuming rape statistics remain steady for the next 30 something years.

Well, he doesn't do any drugs.  That's a useful trait for outlasting any rock and roll opposition (except Keith Richards).

I also was not aware of such a racial disparity in music taste, but your explanation makes sense.  I need to talk to some of these cool old black dudes with great taste in music.

Muddy Waters fans are the most likely to have been arrested, with Thelonius Monk, Billie Holiday, and Robert Johnson not far off.
