that makes me very sad.

They're annoying, not evil. And they've led to great parody: 'F the President' and (in Texas, with the governor's race heating up and Kinky Friedman running) 'K the Governor.'

I like Billy Joel's early stuff. Since you already removed him, I'm removing bologna. Head cheese is worse, and I ate a lot of bologna growing up, with only minimal evil ensuing. Plus we need to raise the stakes. Saddam Stalin People who quote from the Davinci Code like it's a work of any historical...

Loved it.

Of course! I think I remember seeing something about this when I looked the word up when I first heard Time. It wasn't a word I'd heard before. Does it appear in the Bible? I wonder is the plural of Revelation a translation aberration or does it go back to the original naming? He's never called &qu...

I'm not sure the agoe of the song, but John the Revelator refers to the final book of the New Teestamant, the Revalation of John. Since John wrote it and shared his revelation, he's John the Revelator. On a relates note, it's always beena pet peeve when someone refers to the book as "Revelation...

Blue and Spooky: Never saw titanic, I assumed it deserved the award based on my respect for Cameron, but in your honor we'll add it to the list of crappy Oscar picks. That eliminates 97 as one of the years they got it right. I like it. Noise, glad you got the sarcasm. I was starting to worry, but c...

"Jeebus" was the name the native people gave to "Jesus" when Homer went as a missionary. Um. No. "I don't believe in Jeebus," is what Homer said to Rev. Lovejoy when he informed Homer that he was sending him to be a missionary. "Save me Jeebus" is what Homer ...

Along those same lines, Noise, in 1970 when I say "makes sense to me" that's facetious. In 76, when I say Rocky is the man, that's facetious too. In 80, when I say Ordinary People is better than Raging Bull, that's supposed to be a criticism. When I say "Fellini just not good enough&...

I heard he plays for the other team.

1982: ET rules and I got no issues. 1994: Gump is obviously better than Pulp and Shawshak. Ed Wood and Bullets get no mention. 1982: You might have issues. Gandhi won. 1994: I agree in re: Ed Woon and Bullets. I liked Pulp Fiction better than Gump, but I won't quibble too much. But if you really th...

Save me Jeebus!

You need to get out less Blue :wink: . And what's wrong with the Corpse Bride?!? Sure its no Nightmare Before Christmas (any denigration of which will result in a long, bitter, angry riposte that will descend into tears and accusations) but I still found it more original and charming than 90% of th...

I've just gotten my Japanese copy and a few of the errors in the printed lyrics are pretty laughable. I first noticed it with "Almost Ideal Eyes." It doesn't matter much, because of course most of these lyrics have appeared with other CDs in the past, but I'm very much amused by lines lik...

You have to cut the guy some slack. He's married to Sam Phillips. He's been busy.

Coretta Scott King was a heroic woman. More than anyone else, she faught long and hard to have his birthday recognized as a holiday. She continued the struggle and fought the good fight until the end. I feel a deep sense of loss today.

I don't believe in Jeebus.

The secret is a Playstation 2 and a copy of Dance Dance Revolution.

I'm so ashamed.

Sonograms are pretty amazing these days. It could just be the umbilical chord, but if it looks like a penis, it probably is. What did the doctor think?

Well said, sir. And the album they mention - Jehovahkill - very ho hum.

So very much.

I liked his early stuff. Borderline? Then he went into that Eine Kleine Nachmusik phase, and I tuned out.
