I loved Scrappy as a kid. I don't mind admitting that. His big sin, as a character, is how he throws off the established rhythm of the show, though. His essential bravery condemns Scooby's essential cowardice. And we can't have that because we like Scooby waaaaaay more than Scrappy.

And who says optimism has left American politics? I disagree, but only out of cynicism. I don't think it would work, but I wish it could.

Sanders and Kasich have almost nothing in common, politically though.

It's like the ending of Watchman, and Donald Trump is a giant squid.

Then it's on to Weird Al / Coolio.

I think the writing is pretty solid on that first Gin Blossoms record. It feels like it comes from a distinct perspective.

Objectively better? Which equation are you using to make that determination?

There are similarities, but the hipster line that Nirvana just aped the Pixies is deeply flawed and lazy. For one thing, Kurt's songs are about 100 times more emotional.

So a guy who spewed hatred every night on TV for 20 years is mad that there's too much hatred in the world. Got it.

Thin Lizzy - Black Rose

No no no. Let It Be - the single version.

I never realized that being a rock star depended on whether you impressed one particular guy in Florida.

I think it only suffered from being a grungey Bond theme over a decade after that was considered cool. The track itself is a monster.

I was going to mention Louis Armstrong, but All The Time In The World isn't in the opening.

I still have one. For the tour behind the second album, no less.

Yeah, I thought that was weird, too. I know Hoon has his fans, but putting him in with those other guys really does him a disservice. Or a big service, depending on how you look at it.

Totally disagree. You're gonna act like the man who wrote Hey Jude isn't a world class songwriter? Sure, he wrote some dreck, but I think it's a poor thing to judge John by his good songs and Paul by his bad ones.

Say Hello 2 Heaven, Chris. We miss you already. Best vocalist of the grunge era.

Mr. Eddie's Father!

So he put it in the pie?
