Like it or hate it…
He takes having something intelligent to say about the songs to an extreme.

Translation?
I wish I could understand what was being said. With no context, Gere's PDA looks random and surprisingly aggressive. Kissing her hand was cute, and it got a reaction; I think he got a little drunk on that and decided to keep going. Granted, the reaction seems a little extreme to my Western sensibilities,…

Kudos.
Especially on the attention to grammar. Here's hoping this column is the most (and most positive) attention the whole affair attracts.

"Because it's got a f**king 'h' on it."
I can sort of understand "an histerical," but "an mob thug"?

One of the few who deserve immortality.
And one of the few wise enough to not want it, and one of a very, very few who could make you feel the same with a single simple sentence.

..and, actually,
I think "Filibuster XXX" is the second-longest track, shorter by a minute or so than "Sanctuary."

Song length
I'm a new but big fan of Fela Kuti, but it took me a while to get into it. I don't think Steven meant to knock the songs' value when he said they weren't immediately accessible; it's just that the scale and lack of a single, immediate, radio-pop-type hook might be intimidating for some folks. The review…

PR
Press releases are bad enough when they're written *for* 14 year old girls. Let's not compound the problem.

Also.
That photo is weirdly reminiscent of Jack Nicholson.

Malazan
I loved Eriksen's first book or two, but the subsequent volumes have felt rushed to me, or crowded. The once-meticulous details now just seem sort of slathered on. Maybe it's just me.

Shades of…
…Forty Shades of Blue?

Restraint
Get restraint not getting distracted by the fact that the "Black Or White" video seems to feature Macauley Culkin, which could lead to all manner of jokes. As cliched as a lot of the stuff in the video is, I remember at the time being kind of blown away by the morphing technology—not to mention the illusion…

Improv
Is that anything like the long descent into the sad life of a clown? A British soda bottle once warned me against that.

JGL vs. SLB
Interesting contrast to the other recent AV-interviewed maturing young actor, Joseph Gordon Levitt. But interesting similarities, too: both of them had strong mentors to whom they feel they owe a lot in their craft and in their ability to navigate the business, but they seem to have been very different…

I don't know from Oyster Cult
But one of the best things I've seen at a local festival (Comfest!) was a calypso-metal band in skull face-paint and cowboy hats cover "Godzilla." Steel drums have never rocked so hard.

WW
And so you keep reading because… Or you have some constructive criticism about them how?

Oh, lord.
I love how passionate everyone is here about music and other issues, like society, race, articulateness, and so on. But this interview was brilliant because it was hilarious. It was hilarious because even though he was sky-high, Red said some smart things about how the music business works, not to mention…

Chan
Now there's a reality show that might actually tempt me. Will he find anyone willing to, say, break his foot jumping onto a barge and then complete the film wearing a fake shoe sock over his cast?

What a crock.
That bottle does have some crazy stuff written on it. Or at least a lot of stuff. Years ago when someone first introduced me to the product, I read most of it. I almost got sucked into it in Trader Joe's a couple of weeks ago, too.

Oof.
Did I wake up with a belly full of bile this morning, or what? Sorry, everyone.
