They are supposedly good friends. That might even be how he and Kylie met. 

I didn’t put that together until…right now. Ew.

It’s not even about that, though. Everyone knows grunge was, at least in part, a reaction to hair metal. Motley Crüe is one of the first bands people associate with the genre (vs., say, Stryper). Zero need for Vedder to mention them by name. Just seems petty. 

Fair. Jeremy still blows, though. 

Everyone is a dick in this feud. Motley Crüe were kinda fun/mostly sucked. PJ had some good songs, some awful ones (Jeremy still makes me cringe) and Vedder just sounds like a sanctimonious asshole here.

How much do Jezebel staffers make vs. the editor-in-chief?

I went to Hebrew day school in the eighties and we had Holocaust survivors come talk to our class (there were more of them around then).

I am a huge Beyoncé fan and only know a few Swift songs, but I would say the latter is way more of a songwriter than the former without in any way discrediting the former.

Yes! L.I.E. was eclipsed by 9/11 if I recall correctly. Released right about the same time. Haven’t seen it since it was in the theatres. Must rewatch. 

Seriously. Even stuff like Bonus Family, which is the Swedish equivalent of a middle-of-the-road dramedy, is miles of ahead of any of its U. S. counterparts.  

Nah, I’m pretty sure they would have made fun of it the same way they made fun of the “woke” Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad. 

Right. More like they were discontinuing a particular persona. 

Nothing you wrote contradicts what I said. 

Yes! Were they just too similar to brown to continue?

I…think you missed the point.

Julia Fox is the absolute most perfect casting for that role, though, even if the movie will inevitably be shite. 

Tanveer Wasim “Tan” France (né Safdar). France is his married name.

Entirely unnecessary. 

How’d that work out in 2016?

They were together — they are raising two teenagers — just not married.
