You don't understand. Some of this imaginary stuff is less imaginary than some of the other imaginary stuff.

Uhm, she does have pouches. Holds acorns and stuff.

Yeah, but Ditko made her look fairly grotesque in her debut story. To me, that's part of the appeal of the character - she's a weirdo. YMMV.

I really love the optimism in the Three Dog Night song "Black and White". One of the unsung political songs of that era.

Automatic hit #2 on the US album charts. Maybe it didn't sound mainstream, but it was definitely a Top 40 hit.

Which is the correct reaction, to be fair.

I think it's aged pretty well, too.

Hmmm… I love most of these, but that list makes me feel like an old man with predictable classic rock tastes or something. Can we at least throw in 36 Chambers and In The Aeroplane Over The Sea to pull it away from Top 40 alt-rock a bit?

Not true. I once wanted to listen to another kid's Milli Vanilli tape on a cub scout trip…

No way, dude. I can't miss the senior prom. I've gotta dance to Freak Nasty's "Da Dip" again, or this whole plan is a non-starter.

If you want to live in 1997, I'm game. To the TARDIS!

It didn't help that it came out a year after the death of Kurt Cobain and, as a…

Which is part of my point. I felt I was seeing the "Just a Girl" approach on the rise, which I felt was at the expense of what I felt were more powerful approaches…

Well, tell Chumbawumba. I'm just quoting, here.

No. Hey. I'm dope. I heard a Kendrick Lamar album earlier this year. What up? Don't walk away!

I'll just be frank about this: When Kurt killed himself and Courtney released her hit album two weeks later, tons of conspiracy theories were circulated amongst grieving teenage fans of Nirvana. I know, because I was one of those fans and I believed them all back then. So I've heard all that speculation before and I…
