The Gospel According to John
Anyone else annoyed at how Imagine gets revered like it was the part of the Bible just too blindingly awesome and true to make the final draft? I expect John Lennon's ghost is constantly shouting "You know, I wrote other songs! Some would even say better songs!"

Excellent call
Right up until the "can't be overplayed on classic rock radio" requirement, I was banking on American Girl.

Where's the love for Vance Degeneres?
C'mon, the piece about the cure-all pill that could treat disco fever and boogie woogie flu and definitely did not contain glass shards? Hilarious.

Actually
The funniest thing about the "First!" phenomenon are the posters who do a little verbal touchdown-dance celebrating themselves in all their first-ness, despite the fact that they are 27th.

Well, actually that makes sense
Since your grandfather probably didn't have a lot of upper-range hearing left, he probably couldn't tell that Carreras wasn't hitting the high notes like Pavarotti was.

Forget the movies, more Discovery Channel hate please
I was really enjoying this column right up until I was forced to think about those cinematic travesties. What, a column dedicated to hating on a Discovery Channel show is too highbrow?

You clean up verbal tics?
Can I get you, like, installed in my brain? We could call it the Tasha Filter. Like a fine mesh screen between my Broca's area and my vocal cords, catching all the "uhs" "wells" and "to be honests"

A ponytail ever?
Really?

At least one patron?
Is the other guy not sure?

Thank you, MTV
Seriously, can you think of a way MTV could've signaled "STAY THE FUCK AWAY" any stronger?

The Spanish Prisoner?
The Spanish Prisoner made 9.5 million and is rated as Mamet's best (well, tied for first) on IMDB. So where does the flop part come in?

Wait, wait….
You're telling me that a grading scheme lifted from a movie starring Orlando Bloom is inadequately expressive? I'm shocked.

Thank you
I was taken to the Coney Island show by a friend, having minimal knowledge of their music.

Things that don't go together
I love the Killers. I love Lou Reed.

They say verbal insults hurt more than physical pain
They are, of course, wrong, as you will soon discover when I stick this fork into your head.

M.A. Lee
Well, they wouldn't all die in childbirth if the women's house could afford to pay for a better doctor than that old, arthritic drunk who keeps dozing off during deliveries.

Great pick
I wanted so badly to like this movie…

Holy Crap
I had every intention of posting your typical "Hey, let's take the hate down a notch" posting. I've found Maroon 5's music to be perfectly adequate; bland but not offensively so.

Bellona
Well said.

No No No
I love how Hollywood continues to defile and besmirch the creative process. I fully expect cheap sight gags involving a rundown motel, a cropduster, and/or birds flying into a window.
