The Distract me from 2020s P&CE Thread Part Deux

To the west the global south are simply interchangeable, so feck tectonic plate movement, we speed things up.

 

Great interesting post but you may have missed the humour.

 

He's American.

Edit: Wait...you're one too

 

No, wrong again Dutchman.

 

Hilarious. Reminds me of the Patton Oswalt bit on steaks

 

This is 15 years old but I just saw it for the first time.

Donald Fagen Defends Steely Dan To Friends

 

Though Fagen remained effusive about Steely Dan throughout the debate, he did eventually concede that the song "True Companion" from the Heavy Metal soundtrack was "really gay." He was quick to point out, however, that the track was not technically a Steely Dan composition, but rather a Donald Fagen solo project.

Forgot about that flick

 

The talking points seem pretty universal. “But the clean production, the musicianship, the cleverly acerbic lyrics!”

Though I admit I’ve recently come to appreciate them a little more. But their best song is still the Minutemen’s version of Dr. Wu.

 

I get to host Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein for about five hours later today on his campus visit. A member of the Jordanian royal family, he was the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and an all-around campaigner for human equality. I am very much looking forward to it.

 

They're not his friends. Marones. "Pussy music"? What kind of single-celled Three Stooges watching special ed dropouts did Fagen call friends?

 

The lyrics can disappear totally, and you'd still have great music.

Man, I hate it when somebody gives a Lebowski a microphone and asks him about music. We don't give a Lebowski a mic at all, or ask it about anything except how it got out of HS without passing any classes. Coarse wiseguy types can go swim in the Hudson.

 

(It’s an Onion article.)

 

This part, though, is 100% accurate:

"Everybody knows that Steely Dan is named after a dildo, but were you aware that Chevy Chase played drums when the band was called the Leather Canary?" said Fagen, referring to his formative musical years at Bard College in upstate New York. "Of course, that was way before he went on to Saturday Night Live fame."​

​

 

That's Ra'ad, dude!

 

Somebody punched out Chevy I assume

 

Hang on, let me check.

 

Don't forget National Pineapple-on-Pizza day, celebrated on the 33rd of Never.

 

Where do most of these National ___ Days come from? Well this reporter's gonna tell ya
