I remember his work with the Dixie Chicks on that Taking the Long Way album. Lots of good songs on that one.

I like that line of thinking, too. And he and I seem to be in agreement on operatic music. I love stuff that just drips with emotion, no matter how dramatic it gets.
I did get a little burned out on "Closing Time" when it was big back in the '90s, but I'm totally cool with hearing it now. Sort of like a visit from an old friend, or something.
I honestly did not know he wrote "Someone Like You" with Adele. Learn something new. I do like that song…and I love the SNL skit with everyone crying to it. It is very emotional.
And up above, in the real world, Rocko's trying to save Heffer and asks at one point, "Is there a doctor in the house?"
I love the totally random cutaways to snippets of footage showing how to cook various dishes.

You and I would've gotten on well as kids.
The "Wacky Deli" episode really is brilliant. My sister and I would sit there either laughing or giving each other, "WTF?" looks whenever we'd watch it.
Yep. He said that and everyone just glared at him and went, "Rocko! That's disgusting!" I'm not sure why, but…yeah.
I also remember a lot of close-ups of really disgusting-looking feet and whatnot, too, with pus and boils and veins popping out and all that sort of thing. They were not afraid to get incredibly grotesque.
That scene legit freaked me out a little when I was a kid. Course, I felt that way anytime Ren went insane.
R-e-c-y-c-l-e, recycle! C-o-n-s-e-r-v-e, conserve…
Don't step on the white ones! Hoooooot…laaaava…PINEAPPLES!
La, la, la, la, la…
There was also the time when she was in the hospital for that nose operation, and Mr. Bighead came in with some films or something like that, and then the camera just slowly cut away and we kinda had to figure out for ourselves just what all they were doing in private.
