Where they'd pretty much have to say, "…get th' papers. Get the papers," every time they posted?

No doubt we'll have a "people who used to work in hospitals" thread around here one of these days, and I'll have a fair amount of stories to tell.
If that already has happened, I'm sure someone will tell me.

"Naval gazing," eh?
I too like to stare longingly at battle cruisers!

Christ, somebody had to!

I'm saying most of "Twitch" has passed the test of time. "With Sympathy," though: even at the time everybody hated it. The singles, though, with all the insane dub and crazy Adrian Sherwood production…Fuck the fuck yeah.

Love isn't always on time! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Other bands that went through a New Romantic period include The Village People and KISS.
There's probably room here somewhere for a list of what major musical movements were originally called. Before there was rave culture, there was Acid House, and before that (shudder) Progressive Dance. Et cetera.

Hard to say no to "Only The Good Die Young."

I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE.

Shaun Cassidy and Michael Bolton.
Especially M. Bolton. It's so awesome to see that same staring, blank-eyed come on look under a giant penumbra of ballad metal hair on his first album.

Imagine the Skills Improvement Montage from that one, eh?

The cream cheese and olive sandwich is presented as an option in the book "Harriet The Spy," and nobody acts like it's strange. But Harriet, as always, wants a tomato sandwich. That's all she ever wants.

I only know of the Isle of Wight fest because of that thoroughly depressing Jimi Hendrix pic filmed there. Where he says at the end, "peace and love and all that good shit…" and then the subtitle comes up: THIRTEEN DAYS LATER, HE WAS DEAD.

I think you managed to miss the point -twice.

And there was 'ED TV', with Matthew McConaughey. Yep. We'll just leave that right there as it is.

Hey, verbing is the way of the future.

So, your "friends," uh, do they…"talk" to you sometimes?

You know Joel McFail, you're gonna haveta register that name…

Simmerdown: I'm assuming you're what they call a 'Poe' in today's up-to-date Intermanet speak.

Yes, yes; that's all fascinating but, can we talk about how unforgivably awful Kings of Leon is?
