Flagpole Sitta is the Mexican Radio of the 1990s.

To me, it always sounded a little amateurish. Which was to its credit.

I obeyed my thirst. And all it got me was 5 days of barfing antifreeze.

Yeah, I was in the teens/college years bracket too. The thing that I found so rough about it was that we'd just come off of Grunge and Britpop, two really dynamic and vibrant scenes that were very focused on developing artists… and then it all cratered into boy bands, electronic dance and oddball one-hit wonders. I…

Why is there always someone writing a passionate defense of this song/band on the internet? Like, I think this is the 4th or 5th time I've encountered one. It's just some random guy doing a Billy Joel impression. What's the hoopla?

Actually, it be pirate. Arrrrr.

And Johnny got it from Louis C.K.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The A.V. Club

Well, I know you won't like to hear this, but it's more of a reflection on my lack of interest in Vacation than an endorsement of Ernest. Vacation had some funny moments, but it felt extremely whitebread to me. Like, the whole crisis of the movie is whether a rich businessman is going to be able to afford a pool,…

He's basically just Goofy in human form. He's a clown without self-awareness, but he's also unflappable, enthusiastic and optimistic. He's just so, uh, earnest. For adults, that's fairly one note, but it's a recipe for success with kids.

I went to boy scout summer camp every year as a kid and I loved it pretty much every time. Yeah, there are individual moments that I can point to (the great Chigger outbreak of 1990) but generally I always looked forward to camp and enjoyed it while I was there. Not sure why media always portrays camp as some kind of…

Am I wrong in remembering that the songs in Watchmen were ones referenced in the book?

I played in a garage band with the drummer from Flyleaf. The rest of the story is no more interesting than that.

I just mean why escalate the rhetoric to such a degree? You're swearing at me and assuming I'm being racially insensitive or something and I can't figure out what was in my original post that warrants that kind of reaction.

Any reason why your tone with me is appropriate?

Yeah, fair enough. It just seemed like the pile-on I was seeing was more of the "how dare Jon Stewart act rude to a guy" variety.
