I think Rage Against the Machine are more Ice-T's generation than "these kids".

Isn't Penny Dreadful basically League of Extraordinary Gentlemen done right?

There's a good story about how he laid down that solo for the record while fall down drunk

The Hold Steady's Joke About Jamaica. Especially the talk-box bit.

…and switch Adam Driver out for Matthew Perry

Tovah Feldschuh or Kate Mulgrew.
