I think that’s fair but I can also see why certain artists would want to make sure they aren’t defined by one song alone and in the case of Radiohead they’ve moved so far past that first hit that it’s plausible that most of the fans that are with them now aren’t terribly interested in Creep either.

“I bet you hate that.”

“It wasn’t my inspiration, but because I care about others I’m still willing to get them nearly half of the ownership. Totally not admitting to ripping them off. I just want to give them nearly half ownership of the song.”

But still what? Should they not protect their property?

“There are about a million songs with this underlying structure.”

Everybody keeps bring up the Hollies. Radiohead admitted it and gave them credit. But even so Creep doesn’t sound that much like the Hollies song. But her song sounds like somebody just changed the words and sung it in the same exact melody. Even some of the words are the same.

Counterpoint: No.

I don’t like them too much either. Sweet potato fries especially are such a tease! Whenever I eat them I can’t stop thinking about how much better they would be if they were made with regular potatoes.

I’m going to be Captain Obvious here- there are lots of people who don’t spend hundreds of dollars to see pop stars, or video games, or even food. The Met has been free because as an institution (with help from the government and donors) they decided that even people who can’t shell out to see Taylor Swift should…

I can’t stand sweet potatoes. Purple, red, gold, plain ‘ole russet, fingerling, love ‘em all, but never sweet potatoes.

That’s every customer service or retail job though. Cashiers at Walmart or any store in Times Square probably have horror stories beyond yours. I worked for a national telefloral place during holidays and as a cashier once. I’ve been berated for everything.

“a man who murders innocent civilians”

Yes, because those things certainly didn’t exist prior to the Punisher.

They don’t remember that he’s a remorseless cop killer, who happily murders any police officer suspected of corruption?

I think the correction comes after with less experienced on-air personalities, not with people who have a resume that can stand up to his as far as ability.

Tony Dungy was given five years with a team that was the league’s worst before he got there. A lot of chances? What? I don’t think you remember the Bucs before Tony Dungy arrived.

If you’re going to say it’s not a Democrat or Republican issue, tell the Republicans. Look how they rally around Donald Trump and Roy Moore, but how the Democrats demanded Al Franken step down. There’s no equivalence. The Republicans are choosing tribalism over their duty, over decency, over country.

Take it from me. Just play the game as-is and think of the loot boxes as purely bonus material.

I’m sure your view from the nosebleeds was good enough to make this call.

“I was at the game.”
