Seriously. What's next, a time-turner?

I know I shouldn't be annoyed by resurrection plots in a series with g.d. dragons and shadow creatures, but I dunno. It's a bridge too far.

He puts even more emphasis on this influence throughout X (pronounced “multiply”)

You're getting, like, really mad about this. Is it because you dropped $300 on tix to the broadway show and that you feel like you need to justify that somehow?

Yes, he won by a sliver. Ergo, his popularity had severely waned. You're forgetting the many other left-leaning celebrities who had long since "come out against Bush", as it were. It was a goddamn election year! By your standards, John Kerry gets all the credit for American Idiot.

That's exactly what Daly said:

not really, guy. I do however, like that your answer to the question, "Well, then who wrote it?" is, "I dunno, some Spanish family. Get off my case, dad!"

"Some Spanish family". Really? Methinks you haven't thought through this claim. Did you know there were composers in 18th century Spain? Ones with names, who are still famous today? Also, the chord progression almost certainly predates the invention of Flamenco music. And third, melody and chord progression are two…

I edited to be closer to reality ;)

This might be my new favorite story.

Very helpful and informative! Minus one point for lack of "…but seriously fuck Don Henley".

It's like bitching because someone covered your song at their concert or made a youtube cover.
