"…a self-destructive cancer eating away at the nation, eroding its very soul."

2-part flute solo on "Astounded" by Bran Van 3000 (featuring Curtis muthafuckin' Mayfield). Look for the ~6:00 minute version.

Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We're an ice machine
We see people, brand new people
They're something to see

Soul Coughing/Mike Doughty; 6 times in the 90s. R.E.M. is next; 5 times between 1984-1996. Actually, I think I've seen Ted Leo 5 times, too. The last time was in 2012.

Hildy shouldn't have ended up with Walter in His Girl Friday. Walter's a manipulative asshole, even if he's as hot as that Archie Leach fellow, and no matter how much he loves the rush of getting out the late edition. That's literally the only thing they have in common. And of course, she shouldn't have ended up with…

Bascom Hall ice cream right there in Madison—and he gets Coldstone.

I'm a simple gal with simple tastes. The Peanuts gang's Christmas party for me. At least there, no one would make fun of my abysmal dancing. Plus, the music would be top-notch.

I swear, if I had acted like this as a kid and it had gotten back to my guardian, I'd've been whupped with my grandpa's leather belt for a solid 5 minutes, and then grounded to my room. Eff him. And he can't even Regina George. I've gotten nastier burns from an iron.

Oh, good, Trevor Noah's in the posse now. He won't do that "I'm always taken for Puerto Rican" joke again… in the lame way he did it before.

It helped me connect to my nieces and nephews who loved the books, which I would read from to them when they were small. I was 28 when the first one was published in the US, but my copies are U.K. because I'm that chick. Those nieces and nephews are now young adults, and I'm that cool Auntie.

I saw them in 2014 at the United Palace Theater, which is in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. I saw Arcade Fire there also, and it's a great venue. I don't know if Ralf specifically chose the place, but it really was inspired. with their modern sound and 3-D show juxtaposed in such a beautiful old…

<—- So, obvs Bowie. Was too young at his 70s/80s peaks. Was too broke at his 90s/00s peaks. Dammit it all to hell. I especially would have loved to have gone to the Aylesbury Friars show in September 1971. I had only turned 2 that summer, so no chance of going to that one!

"Born to Be Alive" by Patrick Hernandez. Must have been 8 or 9 when it came out. People on the block actually blasted this out of their cars, which was, shall I say, atypical for my neck of the woods. I attribute it to whomever the lead guitarist was. He plays it like it's a funk bass, Bootsy style.

Awww. Good on him. Didn't he produce some tracks for Ben Folds as well? Congrats to him!

Are they, like, the Joel Osteens of real estate? Because I have a few older relatives who post stuff on FB from Osteen, and these guys have that same snake-oily sheen to them.

How about trying not to be such a greedy asshole that you get called out on your shit, Mr. Murray? How about that, fella?

When I was a kid in the 70s, after he died, every single time there was something about Hoover on the telly, my aunt would make an angry face and yell yet again that he was a self-loathing part black man who passed, "and then had the nerve to turn around and persecute black people!", which would also explain some…

For some reason I thought Kevin Conroy was Kevin Conway, in that I thought Conway had been the voice of Batman for The Animated Series. Both of them could have been that voice, but only one was (Conroy). Double silly, because my 1st PA job years and years ago was on a TV show with Kevin Conway, a short-lived CBS…

A girl can try to get it!

OK, no, he doesn't need to speak in public again. Gawd. Do these people get ANY training? Every day, i'm closer to, "The hell with my peccadilloes, I need to run for office, anyway."
