I listen to it quite a bit anyway but I think I’ll fire up “The Crimson Idol” this weekend in honor of Frankie. Such an incredible album.

That’s where I thought this was going as well. “Shark week” is pretty common shorthand among my friends for having one’s period. I was all prepared to defend Whitmer and champion greater openness about having one’s period, but instead this was a total non-story. 

That’s kinda where I thought she was going with that statement as well.

I’ve heard shark week refer to one’s period because it can get all bloody.

...the best you were getting was a janky live recording or a mixtape with unwanted cameos from your local radio DJ.

You may be right, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. That’s all I was pointing out. The article makes like torrenting is dead, and it’s far from dead.

You couldn’t make a movie like Blazing Saddles in today’s climate? Got news for you: they barely made Blazing Saddles in 1974 - go back and read some of the commentary in the day. Decent people didn’t go to see movies like that. 

“Those attitudes are espoused by characters who are explicitly portrayed here as narrow-minded, ignorant bigots. The film’s real and much more enlightened perspective is represented by the two main characters.”

I was tempted to make the same comment, although they did establish that Buddy Rich could outlast Animal:

i know i know. Back in early 90's, kid’s didn’t talk about gender issues. We didn’t burden them with that. We let them do their thing and discuss it for real once you hit puberty and know what an orgasm is.

Let’s not forget the rampant trans erasure by having a small boy proudly announce that “Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina”!

Yes, Kindergarten Cop is only a movie. So are Birth Of A Nation...

God people are so fucking stupid

Apparently, History isn’t the only thing we do a terrible job of teaching. Grammar standards might need a re-evaluation as well.

I think the Behind the Music special had their sort of sex tape type thing featuring various members of the band being extremely messed up and not being nice to their male groupies. Which is sort of subversive and empowering when you find out that female rock stars can be just as awful as male rock stars

What kind of turns must your life must take to think you should send a death threat to Riverdale’s Peaches n’ Cream?

The only way the Go-Go’s come across as cheerful and poppy is if you know literally nothing else about them other than their videos. Their so-called “dark side” has been common knowledge at least since “Behind the Music.”

“The Boys" was ok, but any single episode of "The Tick" was better than the whole first season of "The Boys."

So she’ll first look for shirley musgrave? 

Confirming a source would require precious seconds of Googling, but I read recently that some outrageous percentage of his adspace is purchased by MyPillow. I don’t think he has many advertisers to pressure.
