Perhaps my drive for answers is as much a disorder as intentionally avoiding answers. I admit that.

I've always had to know the answers. Musing is fun and fine, but without answers, questions like you mention just drive me insane. I just cannot understand NOT wanting to know the answers to such things when we have the power in our hands to do so.

In fact, it took less than 5 minutes to find out that Ami Dolenz played Scott's girlfriend in the episode "One for the Road." It's possible you mean someone else, but that's the only girlfriend listed for the character of Scott, the "kid" on the show.

Or something you could find out in about 5 minutes of Google work.
Mystery for the ages or 5 minutes of Google?
Your choice, your crush.

I honestly thought you had mentioned the wrong song title. I wasn't being snarky, just—I cannot fathom a connection between those songs. What sounds similar to you? I'm honestly curious…this is like hearing someone say that "Happy Birthday" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" are similar, just blows my mind. Again, no snark…

"Outside of TV production, writing is nearly always a solitary pursuit…" Except, of course, academic writing, and most technical writing, and the vast majority of on-the-job writing in any field, and most government writing, and a third of the novels out there, and most comic books, and even a huge portion of the…

"See, it's not so hard"—the name of Santiago's sex tape!

It's pretty clear they meant "relevant" here. It's AV Club snark. (And well placed snark. Gaga needs to get over herself. The rest of the world is.)

You're joking, right? It's one of the most blatant, widely-known, undeniable cases of "homage"/ripoff around. It's up there with Nirvana/Killing Joke for being obvious.

When did Taco Bell get a cannon?! This is terrible news. It's bad enough to have all these fast-food wars already, but now it's going to be literal war. Cannons now, but what next? Sharks with frickin' la—
What? Not Taco Bell.
Pacobel Canon?
OOOOooohhhhhh.

Well, then, at least something semi-listenable finally resulted from the existence of Phish. (But you are right about the incredible similarity in the descending progressions in these two songs.)

A lot of folks around here don't understand how this works at all. Most of the song pairs in the comments don't even share chord progressions, much less vocal melodies. Using your analogy, it's like people think a painting is ripped off from the Mona Lisa just because it has a face in it, like the Mona Lisa does.

Weakest attempt at trolling ever.

Wow, that's pretty blatant! Aldean didn't hide his theft well at all.

That's quite a stretch. I cannot imagine how you link those two songs in your mind. "Take Me Out" sounds more like Ringo Starr's "Back Off Boogaloo" than like anything Zep, especially "Trampled." (And just faintly similar to the groove of "Boogaloo" if at all.) But it's nothing like the Zeppelin song. Maybe you're…

Clearly, you hate love.

But his cover of "Crazy Train" brought rock back to life!

I'm not factually wrong, but in spirit, I am wrong. Strongpoint was arguing against an oversimplification or mischaracterization of the novel. He is right: although it is factually correct that serving in the military = willing to kill for your country, that is a massive oversimplification of Heinlein's ideas.

You know, you're right. Although the 'willing to kill for your country' aspect is there, it is a gross oversimplification of the book to summarize it that way. I stand completely corrected.

Then explain YOUR interpretation of the book. The fact is that the book is based on the idea that citizenship should be based on military service—that is, unless you are willing to join the military and serve, you don't get to vote. That was Heinlein's intent, openly stated and repeatedly stated throughout the novel.
