I was once arrested under rather similar circumstances — I was trashed, they put me in handcuffs, threw me in the back of a squad car, and left me in a cell for 12 hours before releasing me with no charge. I guess I was technically "detained," and not accused of any specific crime, but like…I still got arrested. I…

It's subtle.

I live near Boyle Heights, and several times a day you can catch the elote guy, the paleta guy, and the duros guy walking slowly by your driveway. I have no idea why anyone would live in a part of the country where this doesn't happen.

That's a good one. And man, can you even imagine what the crowds were like at P-Funk shows back in the day? All the drugs — every single one.

Totally! I just wish they would really GO for it if they're going to feud. Like, Katy has "you claim to be a player/but I fucked John Mayer" lying right there waiting for her.

At this particular show, Joe Walsh wandered offstage midway through and never came back. My dad's other claims to fame are seeing Jethro Tull five times on the Aqualung tour, and refusing to learn from his Zeppelin mistake in 1969 by turning down a chance to ride with some of his friends up to Woodstock that summer.…

Certainly not the band I'd most want to see, but my biggest live music regret is from back when I was 11, and I seemed to have successfully convinced my dad to take me to see Nirvana at the Forum on New Year's Eve. It was going to be my first-ever concert, and he bought me tickets as a Christmas present. Days before,…

The lone amusing wrinkle in this is that the dancers apparently went with Katy because they found her "more easygoing." Taylor was so offended by the implication that she was difficult to get along with that she dedicated her life to destroying everyone involved.

I find the music of both Katy Perry and Taylor Swift entirely inoffensive - sometimes even good - but dear god, has there ever been a duller sustained pop music feud? The whole thing is a dispute over touring backup dancer contracts, and they've kept it going for years now. It's like if the Bad Boy-Death Row beef had…

The Lynchian/Faragian smile of the woman who walks out past him really elevates this to classic status.

They run the gamut. Goo and Daydream are all-time great covers. Then Bad Moon Rising looks like a rejected Dio album sleeve, and Washing Machine seems like it wants to actively discourage you from buying it.

As a young child: Maybe it's because it was one of the first albums I ever owned, but the goat on the cover of Pearl Jam's "Vs" always freaked me out. I couldn't tell if it was trying to eat me, or if it was in pain and needed help.

She was treated truly horrifically by her alleged rapist/producer, who has since effectively prevented her from continuing to be a pop star through legal maneuvering, and seems to have all but ruined her career. It's really awful, one of the worst examples of how bad assholes in the music business can be, and she…

Buzzkill note: Jerry Seinfeld once claimed to fall somewhere on the autism spectrum. (I think he later backtracked on that a bit, but who knows.) Obviously, he'd be among the highest-functioning segment of that population, but even extremely high-functioning autistic people can share some of the same attributes. One…

You got a killer theme there, man…

If only

Right. Plain body-shaming would be if a 70-year-old woman posted a nude picture of herself on Instagram, and then she made fun of her. That would be totally legal dickishness. This is very different.

True — Pitchfork has always had some excellent writers, and some brain-melting pseudo-academic poseurs, and that still applies even when their editorial emphasis changes. That said, it was kinda jarring when their platonic ideal of a perfect record went from "Funeral" to "Dangerously in Love" seemingly overnight.
