That doesn't get talked about enough: Music aside, the production on Murmur was absolutely beautiful and frankly a bit strange. It has a pretty unique overall sound.

I'm planning a 311-part series on 311.

I find it funny that people fail to notice that Radio Song is in fact a radio song that went on the get lots of commercial airplay. So radio stations all over the country were playing a song about how much the music they play sucks and that you should seek out and listen to other music.

Absolutely. I think it's perfectly fine to be a fan of eras of a band rather slavishly collect every piece of crap latter-day album and unlistenable bootleg they put out because you're a "true" fan.

Ugh, me too—HATE horses. Based strictly on their value proposition: "It's an enormous, fragile, skittish, incredibly stupid animal that, depending on it's mood, may either eat itself to death or kick you into an unrecognizable bag of pulp," you think we'd round these things up and exterminate them.

One correction: The dorkiest of rock 'n' roll subgenres is goth. We were looking for goth. Goth.

I know it was a Yoohoo-like drink sold in the New York area back in the '70s. I always assumed that's what they were talking about.

So basically, you hate things that are awesome?

Charley Freak? Really? I honestly think that may be Steely Dan's worst song. I like the rest, though.

Yeah, I'd be just fine with that, honestly. Beats the fuck out of 16 hours of CNN.

And he looks like a human Muppet!

Agreed. The packaging is atrocious, which is odd given the perfectionists they are, and there are virtually no extras (an alternate take of Everyone's Gone to the Movies and a live Bodhisattva with a hilarious rambling intro) but it's got everything, the sound is great, and it's dirt cheap. Why not just start with…

I'd say that honor goes to Christy Turlington. She has been jawdroppingly hot for 30 years and shows no signs of stopping.

I know, that was completely life-affirming for me, because I realize that this is something other men actually do—I'm not as uniquely irresponsible as I thought.

"out of my mind is bad and broken arrow is ugly?" 
Yeah, pretty much. Broken Arrow, especially, is a complete mess. It was ambitious, granted, but to say to say it didn't work would be a mild understatement.

So your kids have been in elementary school for 25 years?

Idiotic? Not really. To your credit, though, I can can see where it might seem that way. But in this case, I think the sum of its parts was greater than the whole; this band was an incubator for great talent, but together I think they largely struck out.

Maybe he was worried this tour would remind people that despite having several great songs, Buffalo Springfield's music was largely horrible.

The irony is she looks much better as a blond. There's a video where she switches back and forth between hair color, and blond wins hands down.
