And any person who believes they are objective is usually lying to themselves.

I never said that I agreed with the outcome or detainment of all of these criminals.

I can’t really quarrel with either of you...! Upon reflection, not including Figure 8's “Wouldn’t Mama Be Proud?” -> “Color Bars” -> “Happiness” sequence is probably an oversight on my part (especially since that’s my favorite Smith album and “Happiness” is all-timer for me).

Haha, I did not! (I know some of it is nostalgia on my part—I bought Rush of Blood the first summer I had a driver’s license—but I will defend early-period Coldplay until my last breath.)

(You can’t go wrong with Thriller—unless you’re talking about “The Girl Is Mine.”)

This is really all that needs to be said, but people like to argue with strawmen instead.

Hats off to you for your patience with all this nonsense.

But then you’ve got those grimy paws on your back, though. Much harder to reach.

YOU’RE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTIONS, MAN!

Always short track truthers.

It’s the look on his face more than anything.

WHY ISN’T THE VIDEO IN LANDSCAPE.

I thought it was Tammi-with-an-eye.

It makes me feel better, and I already knew he went to Duke...!
