Except that Tusk is one of the greatest albums of all time.

I wonder if parents with good taste maybe worry about this kind of thing too much. If we just expose our kids to good music while we're listening to it, they'll gravitate to the stuff they like and use that as springboards to other interesting discoveries.

Actually Dr John's music sounds like a Popeye's commercial, because it is.

Of all of the people that I used to know
Most never adjusted to the great big world
I see them lurking in book stores
Working for the Public Radio
Carrying their babies around in a sack on their back
Moving careful and slow

It seemed like a better deal when it was being described as having a more "Curb Your Enthusiasm" like premise, but the teasers I've seen recently make me a little more skeptical.

I remember renting this movie when I was spending the summer in NW Wisconsin and watching it 3 times in one weekend and being really inspired by it. When I got back to Ohio that fall I started a "rebellious" zine that I thought would make me into some sort of written word equivalent of Christian Slater and hopefully…

When I was in 8th Grade ca. 1990 I went through a phase where I was obsessed with Jimmy Buffett's music. I have no idea why I liked it and once I stopped listening, I went cold turkey and got into things like Fugazi and The Clash. No wonder I've blacked out most of middle school from my memory.
