you know what, fuck y'all if you hate on this

for just a few minutes, two of the great men of english-language popular music met and sang a song together. one was a legend who would die in a few weeks; the other had just recorded "heroes." the latter didn't want to sing "the little drummer boy," so he wrote his own counterpoint to be sung in tandem with the former. and for a few short minutes in 1977, that crazy little thing we call divinity smiled on a tv studio.



happy christmas, one and all.

cnn presents: the goatee-ation room

seen tuesday afternoon:



in case you can't see it from my iphone photo, rick has one too. that's not just his jowls.

so wait

i just thought of this, but does the election of barack obama mean we'll never see a vietnam veteran in the white house? if so, hella weird, right? that was the war that defined 40 years of american history and, more importantly, much of american presidential politics—but no one who served in it has been elected, and now they're all too old anyway.

never forget this fucking song

seriously, it's fucking great. "pale september" is a close second for that album. and yes, i was borderline gay in 7th grade when i played this album all the time. WHAT THE FUCK OF IT

"I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me."
