I was planning to post the same correction…glad I decided to read through the comments before doing it, because there's nothing more annoying than an AV Club comment thread which contains 20 or 30 or 600 corrections of the same error.

Better idea…let's try to find a discernible "mess" that needs fixed before we start assigning the responsiblity for fixing it.

No code. Just do it.

Leia it down and move on, boys.

So they make you pugnacious, is what you're saying?

Or, to put it another way: even Kate Bush herself could be dismissed as being at least partially a ripoff of Laura Nyro, if you looked only at The Kick Inside and ignored the ways in which her creative voice has evolved since then. Does that seem like a meaningful criticism of Kate Bush to you?

Trust me, I was fully aware of Little Earthquakes right off the bat, and retroactively became aware of Y Kant Tori Read soon afterward. But I'm also knowledgeable enough about music to know that almost every new artist or band that comes along at all is going to initially sound at least somewhat like the artists who

I'm 45 years old, so it's hardly as if I "wasn't around then".

Actually, while I'll grant some vocal similarities their music is remarkably not all that similar stylistically or lyrically.

If she were Korean or Brazilian, then maybe we might be inclined to care what she thought of them.

Not much sillier than singing Pi to the 150th place or serenading Ken Livingstone, really…

But do you find it hard to write the next line?

I wouldn't put her literally in the New Romantic movement either — she's much more an art-rocker in the mould of Peter Gabriel or David Gilmour, so her roots are much more in 1970s prog than 1980s New Wave — but even if she wasn't actually a Blitz Kid, she certainly drew on some of the same influences (Bowie/Roxy

I hereby propose that we stuff Nigel Farage up Morrissey's ass, stuff Morrissey up Donald Trump's ass, and make a turducken out of them.

Yeah, that's right. There are a lot more verses to that song than most people know; even Cohen himself often mixed and matched them in different performances. The version most people know today owes its form to Cale's cover; the verses he chose to go with, and the ones he chose to omit, have been followed by most

I'm usually not a fan of passive-aggressive shade — if you're gonna come for someone, just put it out there. But this time around I'm giving Ru a pass on the jabs he took at Phi Phi, because that shade just felt so righteous.

Totally agreed. I'll grant that Chi Chi looked like a filler queen at the start of the season, but she was an engaging and likable personality, she took the critiques seriously and used them to get better, she slaaaaaaaaaaaaaayed the "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" lipsync, and by the end of the season there was

Yep. Also Stacy Layne Matthews' "Mo'nique" and Bob the Drag Queen's "Uzo Aduba".

You're in for a lifetime of Big Gay Disappointment if a drag queen having a bit of an ego is that upsetting to you.

It should be granted that a few queens have skirted the edges of that by officially picking a real actress as their character, but then playing it as a riff on one of her television or film roles instead of the real life person. But since none of the actresses who've played Rita Repulsa (either as a voice actress or
