I remember liking the song at first when it came out, then, over repeated listening, coming to dislike it more and more and more…
(And I'm an older sibling, too.)

I'm at work and can't YouTube at the moment—can you just confirm for me that this song is actually worse than "Inna Gadda Da Vida"?
'Cause…I'm not sure I want to click the link, if so.

Chacun à son goût and all that; but "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is one of those songs, mercifully rare in the world, that makes me wish I could maneuver my teeth around to the sides of my head so that I could bite off my own fucking ears.

I had forgotten all about "Carolina in the Pines." I grew up in NC so naturally it got played a lot. A very pretty song.

I know—it's like Shirley Jackson, William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor had a three-way and Bobbie Gentry delivered the baby.

Ode to Billy Joe remains as haunting as it was when it was first released. Not mentioned in the article is that this song was a massive "crossover" hit—it played constantly on pop music stations AND country music stations. I was a kid when it hit, and you could not escape from this song.

Everything about Journey shrieks—or, rather, croons—mediocrity.
The lyrics. The music. The arrangement of the music. The way the music is performed.
Everything about Journey is a straight "C." It's inoffensive, which is probably why it became so widely played, and I hate it, every single goddamned note.

Good God, no. That would be Styx.

You don't announce someone else's cancer! It is not your place. That is just not something you tell about another person—any other person than yourself.
You don't do that in conversation with an individual, much less to an interviewer where you know it will go out to the public at large.
Michael Douglas's assholery…

I was close to heartbroken over Miller's weird "epiphany."
Years later I mentioned him to my spouse (don't remember the context), and he looked blank for a second, and then said, "Didn't he go rabid after 9/11?"
That's been my go-to phrase for the phenomenon ever since.

It baffles me, also, but the only explanation I've ever read that makes even a little sense is "Comedy punches up."
The overdog mocking and sneering at the underdog is the opposite of funny.
Righties (as opposed to actual conservatives) don't understand laughter; they only understand gloating.

Do you mean Danger Noodles?

Wait…is the "doge" thing passe now?

tl;dr

I'm not a native but I've lived in the South all my life and visited NOLA several times. He pulled off an excellent urban N'Awlins accent, probably the best I've ever heard an actor accomplish.

I would swear that shot of Mail Robot was nothing more or less than a sop by the showrunners to The A.V. Club.

Well, she got her license last December!

Deidre's very weird. She's plain, which made the audience expect that she'd be desperate for male attention; but she has been continually standoffish. Last week she told Philip he was "needy."
Her 180 after Philip said he was married may have more to do with her wanting to keep him from getting too close—she'd…

I've occasionally thought along similar lines about certain plot points—why did Stan kill that abducted Russian? Why did we follow Nina through all her Nina shit just to see her be executed?
At the time, I thought these things were pointless, and then the show in its patient way delivered on them.
So I've learned to…

Did you know that last weekend Iggy Pop turned SEVENTY YEARS OLD?
