Looking forward to the Manson film, but not sure if it will be any good. There’s an element of humor in Tarantino’s violence, and that won’t come across well in a film about real-life murders.

Viewed this way, the song is about the human condition. I’ll buy it. It’s certainly a more complex tune than people give it credit for.

When your roommate eventually killed himself, were you given all A’s for the semester?

“Margaritaville” is such a sad song. I don’t know how people can listen to it and decide to emulate its protagonist, who literally spends two-thirds of the song trying to convince himself that someone other than himself is to blame for his current state of despair. It’s one of the saddest drinking songs ever, right up…

It’s an inarguable fact that the guys who composed “Do You Want to Know a Secret?” and the man who wrote the “Sanford and Son” theme song are all musical geniuses who have done so much to shape the pop landscape that it’s almost impossible to imagine it without them.

Yeah, he mentioned that, then moved on to more interesting topics.

The whole interview is fire. To paraphrase: “My friends Marlon Brando and Richard Pryor used to fuck. You like Brazilian music?”

At first I thought I saw some nip in the header photo, but upon closer inspection, it appears to be just a shadow.

Still disappointed Jill Stein didn’t win?

Try not to get all hysterical.

It must be fun to pick on Florida. The people I know who pick on it the most are my Facebook friends who live there. I’m headed to Pensacola next month. The beaches are beautiful.

Why do so many people say this about Florida? It’s a tropical paradise. It has Miami and Disney World. It has a few rednecks, but who cares?

This article has been up for over 40 minutes, and not a single commenter has shown up to tell us why Simon is asshole whose departure from public life we should all welcome. Remember that one time he did that one thing? I don’t, but surely there’s something.

Simon is one of the greatest nonsense lyricists in the history of music. Not all of his lyrics are nonsense—his literal, easy-to-paraphrase lyrics are pretty awesome, too—but the nonsense on the Graceland album gives Stephen Malkmus, Beck, and Blonde-on-Blonde-era Dylan a run for their money.

No Super Bowl thread, huh? Weird.

Your comment is a perfect example of the resentful schadenfreude and ugly disdain for art that have ruined this website and will soon ruin pop culture itself.

The weak-minded obsession with power, and the disdain for art and artists, is on full display in this comments section. Many of you are too stupid to deserve art.

My local classic rock radio stations do their part to address this bias by playing Pat fucking Benetar every other song.

Honeycomb’s big, yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s not small, no, no, no.

I would give this a million upvotes if I could.
