Wait—you're talking about THIS girl?

Your gesture is noted & appreciated, @avclub-4602fc349ffc0ad649190e937f2a5f14:disqus.  As to "how often do you really hear 'candelabra' come up in conversation?!?": Surprisingly frequently.  Funnily enough, pluralizing Legos doesn't bother me at all.

@avclub-7656b560c7e180f8e0d84ca82ac0d8b7:disqus: The similarity has been noted before, but rest assured that we really are two different people.  The timing of it probably has more to do with when the AV Club officially started requiring registration in order to comment.  I had already been posting as Clueless…

Eh, I'd be OK if I never saw him again.  The first couple times it was mildly amusing, I suppose, but schtick/gimmickry* really calls for brevity.

No, there were many candelabrA.  It's already plural.  Nobody uses it right & it bugs the crap out of me.

So, drinking made him lose his teeth, either way.

I like it already, & I haven't even LISTENED to it yet!

This is an obituary, not a memorial.  No obligation to just eulogize.

You're expecting too much of a guy who rhymed "fire" with … "fire".

This also aptly summarizes Oliver Stone's Doors biopic.  Guh.

Agreed, @blooptaabi:disqus.  I am NOT a fan of that movie—the most apt descriptor I could come up with for it is "masturbatory", & not in the good way—but Kilmer was amazing.  He could single-handedly salvage The Doors, if it were salvageable.

I'm pretty sure you can get cancer ANYwhere.  That's just one of the many horrible things about it.

Beats the hell outta cancerAIDS, though.

HO! HA HA! GUARD! TURN! PARRY! DODGE! SPIN! HA! THRUST!

The scene where the cops come to question Fink is still one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie.  Cracking dialogue, & the deadpan cops just sell the hell out of it.

LOOK UPON ME! I'LL SHOW YOU THE LIFE OF THE MIND!

King doesn't generally do "leaner".

Don'tcha think?

I've only read two such oral histories—I Want My MTV and All Over But The Shouting (an oral history of The Replacements)—but based on them, my answer to the question "Are oral histories a good way to write about music?" is yes.  Yes, it they are.
