The Robbins twist in BATMAN 222 is *genuinely* surprising (and can anyone do sobbing adults quite like Irv Novick?)
The Rozakis twist in TITANS is . . . pure Bob Rozakis and I also love it.

He always sounds like the kid who didn’t read the book trying to give a book report.

This kind of shit is absolutely infuriating. For the record, this is indeed the FIRST BIOGRAPHY of Dangerfield--the jacket copy is correct.

He’s still milking the fact that he shows up in photos of the Beatles with the Maharaja in Rishikesh.

Not as an interviewer, no. For a guy who came up through early rock and roll, he always seems baffled when talking with musicians.

I've always loved this short interview with the group on American Bandstand, where Brian somewhat nervously asserts his leadership, Mike Love dorks out, and Dick Clark is as awkwardly unprepared as ever.

I'll never be able to recite it any other way, even if it means leaving out the "of the United States of America" in the opening clause.

Any GenXer who can't recite the Preamble should hand in their GenX card.

The first song she turned in—which she also wrote and sang—was “The Preamble,” which type an entire generation how to sing the opening lines of the US Constitution.
It’s a song she says she felt “an incredible sense of glee” while singing it for the first time.

“Throngs” doing a lot of heavy lifting there, WaPo.

One of the very first songs I ever learned to play on the bass, which means I listened to it approximately 32,000 times, and I still don’t know the words to it.

ICE: “No. Fuck off. Go away.”
REP: “O-okay. But I’m really disappointed about this.”

Worst. Take. Ever, and I can’t believe you wrote this with a straight face. This ain’t about “showcasing the American military” as an act of “patriotic celebration.” It’s fealty. And what’s worse, you *know* it. Come on.
