Why not both

Hard agree! It’s one of those songs that has been so enhanced by the process of learning it (I can do all of Lloyd’s parts and almost all of Verlaine’s minus the second half of his solo). It’s the peak of my abilities. Every detail that I learned made me appreciate the song more and added nuance to my understanding of…

The song as a whole might be the best 10+-minute-long rock song of all time.

The crescendo of Marquee Moon might still be the most important 90 seconds of music in my life.

“I thought the final piece of the puzzle lyrically was, You were my Tom Verlaine sitting on the hood. I just liked him kind of sitting on the hood, squinting, not approving, rubbing his chin on the hood in a leather jacket.” —Molly Rankin of Alvvays on KEXP.

I always preferred Television to Talking Heads. RIP.

Jezebel’s current writers were probably five years old or such back in the early aughts.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see Jezebel stop hating Anne Hathaway.

‘I do favors for animals, not for Paramount.’

Jezebel talking about the people who targeted Anne Hathaway back in the early aughts.

Respectfully, Howard, the show, and his general interview style has evolved quite a bit since Fart Man and I am guessing most of the people commenting haven’t heard it. I am currently listening to the interview, and it’s not remotely disrespectful. He has been respectful, and she has been self-aware and thoughtful.

She’s also been friends with him for decades, so her going on his show, especially already knowing what he’s about from the door, is a non-issue...well, except for that person who wrote this article who clearly has never seen/heard his show. I used to wonder how, in the age of #metoo, that he wasn’t its poster child…

So you’re anti-Howard Stern but saving your rage for Pamela Anderson?

A new pose that rivals Blue Steel: The Coquette.

I’m fascinated by the contempt you have for a woman commenting on her own life—like, a full tv series came out last year about her is she supposed to pretend she didn't notice that she was famous?

She’s saying that people treat her like she’s there for their entertainment, even when she’s just out at a restaurant. Like a “dance monkey dance!” type thing- “Tell me a joke, clown!” But like, in her case, they’d want some salacious story. 

Human woman wants to be treated like a human being. Wow that’s horrible says multiple commenters. 

I don’t think she was being literal about the sex clown thing. She was likely trying to illustrate that people want a fake hypersexualized straight off the cover of Playboy version of her in the way that children run up to clowns asking for stickers and balloons, when she’s just trying to eat her food. 

I used be a hostess at a restaurant in Malibu and Pamela was a regular. She was the most gracious, quiet, and low-maintenance customer ever. As any host/hostess knows, people are crazy about asking for booths—she never did, and as far as I know, she never kicked up a fuss about anything. She was honestly so sweet. 

Not that it was ever OK, but it’s amazing to me that people still react to celebrities like they’re the same people they were twenty years ago. I would be hesitant to bother someone enough just to tell them I enjoy their work. How do you work up the nerve to go up to someone and ask them about their sex life because…
