Ted Cruz = Michael Scott?
He has the same love of pop culture but is as tone deaf in his reading of what it means to other people.

Yeah, but they thought she was one of the best new artists, so why not give her the exposure? Johnny Depp gets to perform, but not her?

How about the fact that all of the rest of the Best New Artist (AKA "The Kiss of Death" Award) nominees got to perform on the show, but not her? If I were her, I would be kind of pissed off about that

As an 80's kid, I was first familiar with the MTV Bowie (Let's Dance, Blue Jean) and then got to see the aforementioned Glass Spider Tour in Giants Stadium.

The Chicken of Tomorrow got my son hooked.

My favorite Reverend Jim moment is when he seems to know the aswer to every arcane question about Brazil and Elaine asks him, "How do you know so much about Brazil?" and he says, "You mean I'm right?"

I was waiting for the article to mention "Teach Me to Understand Christmas." That song killed at regionals.
