Yeah, Human Touch and Lucky Town didn’t do anything for me either. Speaking of Clarence, it’s interesting how he’s worked Jake Clemons into the show to be sort of Clarence lite. The dude plays well, but they have him doing all the Clarence/Boss poses and it’s a bit weird.

I get the sentiment but “The Rising,” “Meet Me At Mary’s Place,” “Death to My Hometown,” “Ghost of Tom Joad,” “Youngstown,” “Land of Hope and Glory,” and several more are as good as anything pre-Nebraska. Mrs. Grocery and I saw him Thursday night and “The Rising” was as anthemic as “Thunder Road.”

This morning when there didn’t seem to be a comments section I thought it was a sorry way for the AV Club comments section to go out. If this happens to be a short-lived reprieve, I just want to say it’s been a fun ride from finding the AV Club in a corner on the Onion’s web page, through whatever was before Disqus,…

My bad, sorry. Good thing I didn’t mention Taylor Swift’s letter to the Galatians.

If they go into the Acts of the Apostles and Paul’s letters in later seasons there’s some good drama. The new guy Paul gets all uppity and annoying to Jesus’ brother James and Jesus’ head disciple Peter - basically saying they’re irrelevant and that he doesn’t have to listen to them because Jesus talks to him too. Ther…

Possibly KLF? They were Justified and Ancient and they drove an ice cream van.

If you’re going to define “legally” as “things the Executive branch can do” and everything else as “political bullying,” it makes sense to say the President’s conduct isn’t likely to be “legally” controlled by the branch he runs. But if “legally” includes Constitutional checks and balances such as impeachment,…

I thought “The Family” was pretty good in a 1971 kind of way.

Apropos of nothing, Ed Sanders.

Also, “We and Dem.” I always heard it as a much scarier song than it is. When it came out I assumed it was hinting at retaliation for the shooting.

Yep, good catch. My feeble mindedness made me type “No Woman No Cry” when I meant “Johnny Was” (“.. woman hold her head and cry.” )

I think there are a couple on the list that could have been skipped in favor of “Them Belly Full” and “No Woman No Cry.”

“... might rub certain people (i.e., survivors) the wrong way.” People with peanut allergies who ate peanut butter and didn’t die are an interest group with enough clout to have portions of a Super Bowl ad pulled? I sincerely have no idea what to think about this.

I thought he’d be a good fit for the lead in “Mr. Jones - the Adam Duritz Story.”

The only group I can see possibly having an interest are the fraternity bro’s who all bought Legend.

Fair point. I read the original post to be saying the culmination of the event was the cops taking Killer Mike into custody. If we’re saying that the encounter between the security guard and Killer Mike escalated into the citizen’s arrest then both you and the OP are right.

Given your other reply, I’m going to assume this was meant for me. First, find a post where I’ve said, implied or endorsed a racist statement. If not, retract the accusation.

I was assuming that any security guard who was working the Grammy awards would have been cautioned not to effect a citizen’s arrest on participants and was stupid enough to do it anyway. You’re right that purely racist stupidity has always got to be considered as a cause.

I’ve been a practicing lawyer for 34 years and I don’t post anything about the law that I don’t personally know to be a fact.

It didn’t escalate into an arrest, it started as one. As soon as the security guard made the (probably dumb) decision to perform a civil arrest, the rest was inevitable. Cal. Penal Code section 142 makes it a crime for an officer to refuse to receive someone who has been arrested by a civilian.
