I think it sounds like "were." But http://www.elviscotello.info disagrees with me. So I submit.

Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation.
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice
cos they think that it's treason
So you had better do as you were told.
You better listen to the radio.

Not everyone, just Cameron Diaz.

Sorry. Actually, it's:

upon the rails
Would ruin any man who moved too soon.
All except the one who seems to know more than he tells

Well, Blue, if you haven't ever seen it, you owe it to yourself to watch Live on Sunset Strip. As soon as you can.

I'd love to see WIlliam Hurt snag that statue. He was the best thing in History of Violence. I also hope Philip Hoffman gets it. He went to school with my brother at NYU. It would be nice to see him get some official recognition.

I went down to the Halls of Justice, and that's all I saw. Just us.

Enough is enough.

If you like Orange Juice and the Fire Engines, may I highly recommend the debut album by Del Amitri. They're a Scottish band who had one really brilliant record in 1985, and then a series of mediocre to good (IMO) records to follow after altering their sound dramatically. And that's an important poi...

Running Out of Angels

They say they're running out of angels
They say I'm running out of time
Oh you don't have to be lucky
It is easier than trying,
now they're bringing down a

No. It's just bad grammar to say 'I'm a "Ok. Sorry. Fuck Yourself. Better?"' It should have been: According to Noise's PMs I'm someone deserving to be told, "Ok. Sorry. Fuck yourself. Better?" It still wouldn't be a Dylan song, but your grammar would have made sense. See? And ple...

Well, that's not a Dylan song, and he got the grammar all wrong. But on the sentiment, I'm happy to say I'm guilty as charged.

I learned that WHAR won't fuck off, even when I ask him to fuck off and stop pm'ing me.

Sufjan Stevens is a great songwriter. I can't believe how good Illinois is.

Miss BA is correct. It's both thunder and Geiger counter.


The rest of the song:

And they won't take my love for tender (ad infinitum).




Who's got next?

Richard Pryor was a funny motherfucker.

WHAR's just a motherfucker.

If you have friends from Pluto, you're DEFINITELY a racist. Those Plutonians can't be trusted. Ok. The Wells Fargo example is a stretch, but I get your point. I'd say that you might owe the money, if it could also be proved that you inherited either the money itself or the benefits of the money. In ...

Rope, I'm all in favor of US reparations to descendants of slaves, Native Americans, and the Chinese, as well as Japanese-Americans who ere interned during WWII. I'm all about paying for crimes. By my reckoning we also owe Mexico a butt-load of cash for stealing half their country. But seriously, if...

I think it's "checking on a checkmate, grassing on a classmate," but I can't be certain. Still, nice job. The next part: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Payday's coming, clean money clean money (and we wash it away, and we wash it away) Payday's coming, clean money clean money (and we wash it away, an...

He's a citizen of Germany, subject to German law. I actually take great comfort in the fact that Germany is prosecuting Holocaust deniers and recruitment by hate groups. Nations need to take responsibility for past crimes and offenses.

My point with the crowded theater chestnut was just to say that we don't protect all speech. In some circumstances, speech can inflict harm, and (to pile the cliches on) your right to swing your fist ends at my nose. I don't know the specifics of the charge against Zundel. I'm just saying it's possi...

I can't vouch for the intellectualism or not of Reagan. But to call FDR an airhead seems fairly ludicrous.

No one should rejoice at the assassination or attempted assassination of any president, whether you like them or not.

The way Lena Horne sings it, it's a really sexy come on song, right up there with Baby it's Cold Outside. Recommended.

I'll start one. Clean Money:

Payday's coming, clean money clean money (and we wash it away, and we wash it away)
Payday's coming, clean money clean money (and we wash it away, and we wash it away)

That's what I want to do
I want to spend it on you.

I learned that Echo & the Bunnymen have a new album out and that it sounds pretty promising.
