At midnight on a school night...
For serious Neko Case. You slay me every time. Every damn time.

Why I dislike James Taylor
I know she was a songwriter first, but…
Listening to Tapestry made me wonder just how many people have covered and put their smeary fingerprints all over Carole King’s beautiful songs?

Nuggets. Nuggets! NUGGETS!
“I have to apologize to George Karl and the Denver Nuggets because I did not realize they were that good. I didn’t realize they had turned that defensive corner…They are the best basketball team in the West right now. They are playing the best basketball in the West.”
Finally a little bit of respect from a national commentator for a Denver sports team. So I don’t...

Super fast 800 runner: No you will, and you are going to have kids.
