You’re forgetting how much money fox news brings in. They (the Murdoch offspring) might not like it, however that is quantified, but they’ll keep it going as long as it’s still churning out the billion/year it’s shitting out.

“You have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.”

I cannot get over how much Hannity talks over Koppel— a well-respected, white, male TV journalist. Like, if he’s willing to talk over Ted Freakin’ Koppel...imagine any black woman who has ever had the misfortune of interacting with Hannity.

Number one with a bullet: Hallelujah, by Leonard Cohen.
Everyone’s all “its beautiful and religious” and I’m like... I’m pretty sure this is just a song about fucking.

However, if it was the Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club (1963) version, then she was correct to shrug and use it anyway because it is the single greatest song ever, Omigod Sam Cooke why did the manager of the Hacienda Hotel shoot you, you were the greatest and also so handsome!

The song “Hook” by Blues Traveler is about this very phenomenon. In it he says basically that if he sings really soulfully, he can be saying fucking nothing and people will eat it up and he’ll make a ton of money. And it took me YEARS to realize that’s what the lyrics were saying.

Gaaaaaaah that song at weddings, Jesus Christ! There I am, happy and drinking champagne and preparing for my Electric Slide Moment, then this heartbreaker comes on. I want to jump up and scream “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HIS FOUR YEAR OLD PLUMMETED OUT A HIGH RISE WINDOW so now Eric Clapton, clearly not a man of faith, keeps…

You wrote the answer that my garbage brain was too sleepy to come up with. Thank you!

Fox News hilariously uses Independence Day by Martina McBride (about setting your abusive husband on fire) as some sort of patriotic bumper music. I guess John Rich is busy with Glenn Beck or something. I think its Hannity who does this and he isn’t one of their sharper tools.

You sure you’re thinking of Blunt’s You’re Beautiful? You know, that annoying song that had so much play in, what, 2006?

You might want to rethink that. Here are the actual lyrics:

You should go listen to Hook by Blues Traveler.

“she could tell by my face that I was fucking high”

Huh? He says “She could see from my face that I was fucking high” in the lyrics. She was also with another guy. Nothing to indicate that she was unhappy, or unconventionally beautiful. Dude was a creeper.

I think I’ll have “I touch myself” by the Divinyls at mine. Now that’s a healthy relationship.

Wrong song, friend.

That is not the song he is talking about, at all. That’s the Alessia Cara song currently on the radio. This is *James Blunt*’s hit song called Beautiful from the early aughts.

I would LOVE to see a mother and son dance to Danzig!!

The same thing happened to U2 and One. Everyone thinks it’s a hippie love song. It’s not. It’s about a gay man who’s dying of AIDS angrily confronting his homophobic, estranged father.

It’s about a guy who’s high as a fucking kite on drugs in the subway stalking someone else’s girlfriend
