As much as I love the Beastie Boys there’s something off-putting about their retrospective enlightenment. Their transition from punky frat boys to slightly grumpy old Jewish men took several decades but it still seems a bit disingenuous.

He’s not entirely wrong going by most of what you would hear on the radio or the pop charts. Melodies are practically an afterthought anymore. Hooks are robotic and mechanical. Everything is done by committee and industrialized. The market is fragmented and niche oriented until it’s just a drone of lowest common…

“Vincent”...a pretty great tune.

But no Bluetooth? My MPow headphones sound great and they had Bluetooth and a cheaper price.

Community college in the ‘80s was the wild west. It was for a history class. I had to pick a book from a long list of dreary titles. Hitler seemed like a slam dunk. (Probably the first time that sentence has ever appeared anywhere.) It’s not like I was going to present a carefully balanced portrait. I just droned on…

I had to read “Mein Kampf” for a class once and a relative scoffed at the very idea, telling me “Hitler was a terrible writer.” I could not judge Hitler’s ability to turn a phrase or paint an enthralling word picture.

It is not particularly “inexplicable” why Larry David is praising the book. It’s a great read. Maybe you should read the book before you toss it (and others) on your cyber-bonfire.

Just watched the new special. (I stole it if that makes any difference. But I would have done that anyway even if he wasn’t a chronic...something.) So, yeah. Is it funny? Yeah, it’s funny. But it’s not like he suddenly lost all his comedic skills. A bus driver could murder a cocktail waitress and he could still be a…

It was just that one time. Don’t listen to my ex-wife.

Despite the time stamp, it was “TODAY, FRIDAY APRIL 3" when I posted. Also: “tommorow” in an online header?

No sign of this anywhere on either HBO app. All I see is the typical free week long trial and you still need to enter a credit card. Which usually leads to a stealth charge if you don’t pay attention to the end date.

Betty Boop was originally a dog. #The_More_You_Know.

Is this a parody? More importantly, is there some corporate synergy between whatever the hell owns the AV Club and Quibi? Because I have not seen or heard one iota of interest for Quibi expressed anywhere.

In other words: Kid Rock.

The heavy-handed thematic elements (the owl, the constant rain, the DNA test) hit you over the head with the death foreshadowing. Maybe I’m wrong but it’s pretty obvious who the grim reaper is looking for.

I think “local” is part of the problem.

Not sure what you would have expected from any CEO in the midst of an unprecedented disaster. Would form letters be better? Would you expect him to personally call each employee? But he had a funny accent and a kerchief. So, yeah, “bizzare.”

The basic building blocks of pop music are really pretty limited. Most of the landmark cases (i.e. “My Sweet Lord”) stop short of actually proving deliberate intent. And with good reason since it’s almost impossible to prove. Those lawsuits are more of a reflection of the inadequacies of the legal system than anything…

Let’s hope health care workers don’t take your advice.

The likely scenario is his personal assistant(s) were three feet away from him the entire time. They spent 12 days silently texting his panicking agent and business manager while supplying their boss with an endless supply of kale smoothies.
