Mr. Kinsley

"Oh my God! He said '...the king of all RAY CHARLES!'" After hearing so much about how fantastic that version was... y'all were right!

My feelings exactly. Seeing as she's the person who coined the phrase "vast right-wing conspiracy," I REEEEEALLY don't see that in her. For what it's worth, the 'bitter' comment handed McCain the presidency. Obama won't be able to shed that image in the battleground states, and Clinton can't beat Johnny Mac due to her vote for the war/I want to end this horrible war stance.

The only tv show I find remotely interesting is Pushing Daisies, and it hasn't been on in 6 months. RE: Atticus - I too feel pity for Britney, but for some reason not for Lindsay. She seems to be working too hard at actively trying to screw up her life just so we'll all look at her, whereas Brit just seems too dumb/messed up/etc. to do anything differently.

High school and college were all about Lucky Lager (only sold by the case, in 11 oz. bottles) and MGD. When we weren't being super lame and drinking California Coolers/Bartles & James.

Angelina Jolie gives me the creeps. I find her a hideous caricature of a sex symbol.

Yay babies! Congrats!

Also, have you straight up asked her what the deal is? "Hey, it's obvious that something is going on here because I'm noticing [bunch of examples]. What gives? Because I've had it with this and we need to fix this or one of us needs to leave." THEN you have the menage a trois.

Other than swapping Mariah Carrey for Billy Corgan*, I can't complain one bit with this list. What's the fun in that? *Not that he isn't annoying, I'd just put him at #11. EDIT: Oooo! Wait! Lily Allen shouldn't be on here. I like her. I agree with the assessment about everyone trying to sound like her, but that's not her fault. Replace her with Chad Kroeger.

That should be bobbob's new avatar. I have John Denver's Greatest Hits*, 3 Kingston Trio albums**, and Hootie and the Blowfish*** in my CD collection. I know guilt when I see it. *Not as good as I remember from my childhood. **Love them and listen to them frequently. I can sing along with every word. ***You know you have it, too.

douchebaggery is overrated While I totally agree with the premise of not ripping people for their opinions, this statement leads me to think you don't like to have fun. This is the blasphemy thread, not the confess your embarassing guilty pleasures thread.

Holy Crap! Those are tied for most incredible on-line shopping sites ever! Thanks!!!

I would love to see them be their own opening act. Stay with me on this - the bill would be as such: (The side band that Mikael is in whose name escapes me) Glen Kotche doing selections from Mobile The Nels Cline Singers Autumn Defense Tweedy solo acoustic Wilco It could be just a few songs each, and maybe it could just be Wilco playing each group's songs, but it could totally be done. Will it happen? No. Would it be cool? Hell yes!

I've been a Clemente fan since I read a kids book on him in the school library when I was seven. The opening line was that his birthday was August 18 - the same day as me. When you're 7 that's all it takes, but then to find out how he died, what a great player he was, the way he spoke up on equality and race, etc... he's been my favorite ever since. I remember seeing a Santurce hat about 5 years ago that, for some unknown reason, I didn't get. Now they seem to be sold out. I'm still kicking myself.

I never understood the appeal of My Morning Jacket. I've honestly tried to get into them, but at the end of the day they do absolutely nothing for me. Leonard Cohen's music sucks when he performs it. (He's a damn good songwriter. I just wish he wouldn't ruin his own songs by playing them himself.) Why are the Replacements such a big deal? Who cares?

Honestly, I know people who would go there without a trace of irony. But we are missing the larger picture here - thanks for posting that article.

My bad. But to be fair, there are a lot of people who would say that and mean it.

F... fire... fireworks? From the butt?!?! Well I know what I'm doing this weekend! PS - 'Baracky' is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Yes Yes Yes PS - Yes

Sort of a disconnect between your assessment of the article and some of the more important segments in it. Intelligent analysis of current events can be so darned pesky when all you want to do is just put an American flag pin on your lapel and listen to Lee Greenwood cd's 24/7.

Hopefully not at the same time. You could really "pull" something that way.

Can I just mention how kick-ass the beat up police car doors are? They kick 27 different kinds of ass. Had I been there I might have spent the entire evening staring at them, half listening to Jeff.

What the hell kind of party was this, anyway?!!?!? (I kid. I'm just jealous!)
