Well, Henley did once have a certain "relationship" with South American, uh, commerce, so he may have been writing those lyrics from personal experience.  "They mix 'em up right in the kitchen sink" are not lyrics that come naturally, after all.

I tend to agree.  I have a friend who composes entirely on a synth, and it all sounds like great background music for a Levitra advertisement.  As a classically trained cellist, I obviously disapprove, but I don't have the heart to tell him such.

I'll repeat myself and say, "It's good music for people who've never heard good music".  Normally, there's a good market for such pap, but, when you're feeding five enormous cocaine addictions, finances become tight.

This douche thinks this is a bad song, but thinks JackFM is "pretty cool"?  I believe this undercuts all of his credibility on either subject.  Now, I hate The Eagles as much as the next guy, but Henley was able to shine at times.  Great groove, great lyrics, great riff.

Huh?  If you were really evil, you'd jump out and beat anyone who talked shit with a crowbar.  I've had to do this several times regarding Phil Collins.

Definitely Go-Gos.  The Bangles had the balls to qover Big Star later in their qareers, but the Prince-penned "Maniq Monday" is obvious self-plagiarism from the melody of "1999".  (I once saw The Bangles perform.  Solid performance, but Air Supply was performing at the same venue the next night.  'nuff said).

Wow, a failed setup with the guy that was too much of a drunken asshole for even mid-80s Metallica to put up with?  How could it go wrong???

I'd go with Belinda being the hottest, but Jane seemed like she'd be more fun in the sack, and that's what REALLY matters.

Really good cover from the punk band The Sloppy Seconds.  It's a bit dated now, but still notable.  Look it up.

It's your MOM, dude!

If that's the worst thing that happens to you today, consider yourself lucky, my friend.

I remember the chorus of "Our Lips Our Sealed" being misinterpreted by others as "Alex The Seal".  I had to patiently inform them that the seal's name was "Andre".  (I actually saw Andre The Seal perform once; he was quite impressive, especially since he pre-dated Sea World's theatrics.  He also never mauled any of

The Flash?  Really?  What we really need is Rorschach to come in and slaughter them all in a tightly-controlled psychotic rage.

OK, OK, how about a zombie story, told from the ZOMBIE'S point of view?
(I apologize, for in my current state it's difficult to remember which "Simpsons" episodes I'm referencing.  I think I've gone full days now communicating with nothing but Simpsons quotes).

I want the Dundie that Jan through into Michael's plasma screen TV.

Jim & Pam look exactly like the "came with the frame" couple.

That's the very reason I never found Hooters restaurants very appealing.  That, and their shitty food.

So if I say the words, will it open up?  "Klaatu, Verata…uhh, necktie!  Hey, it's cool, I said the words!"

After the almighty Dangerfield, Bob Newhart remains my favorite comic actor.  His blandness & aloofness in "Newhart" underscored all the idiocy happening around him in that hick Vermont town, which was genius.

"…worthy foe" has worked itself into my daily vernacular.  Probably why people avoid me.
