RAMBLE ON: "Stone Cold Crazy" by Metallica
I don’t know how popular this opinion is but my favorite Metallica album is their first, Kill ‘Em All. Honestly, I don’t think there’s a lot of metal bands whose fans think their best album is their debut. Guns n’ Roses, sure. Van Halen, yeah, though some prefer 1984. But it feels wrong fo...

Requests.
I auctioned off some One Hit Wonderland requests many years ago because my car broke. My car's fine now. My dog broke though. She needed some stuff done to her eyes and it was expensive. Dogs are expensive! I bought a pooping-and-licking machine with high upkeep costs and malfunctions all the ti...

RAMBLE ON: "Circus" by Britney Spears
I confess a certain indifference towards Britney Spears, which is probably a character flaw for my line of work – how can you be a pop critic and not be deeply invested in the life and works of Britney Spears? I’m not sure. I was a teenage boy when “Baby One More Time” dropped and I understa...

RAMBLE ON: "Perfect" by One Direction
“Style” by Taylor Swift still hits me so hard it makes me ill. It might be my favorite song of the decade. It’s Taylor’s hottest song by a substantial margin but Taylor is never going to be entirely comfortable with adult situations or adult language (most notably, she can’t drop an f-bomb...

RAMBLE ON: "Hip to Be Square" by Huey Lewis and the News
Have you ever actually listened to this fucking thing?One of the movies from the last ten years I’m fascinated with is The Founder, a Social Network-style biopic about the rise of McDonald’s Corporation founder Ray Kroc. I (and the movie) use those words carefully, because Kroc did not found t...

RAMBLE ON: "The Fighter" by Keith Urban ft. Carrie Underwood
Twenty-three years and some weeks ago, roughly around Valentine’s Day 2001, Nicole Kidman danced her way out of Scientology’s clutches, bouncing out of her lawyer’s offices in triumph after signing the final divorce papers with Tom Cruise. Five years later, she remarried, to a fellow Aussie, c...

RAMBLE ON: Fleetwood Mac's "Isn't It Midnight?"
I didn’t really like Christine.If you’d asked me which Fleetwood Mac member was my favorite, I think I’d probably say Lindsey. I remember being knocked the fuck out the first time I heard “Go Your Own Way”; I’d never heard a guitar sound like it was in physical pain before. And of course...

RAMBLE ON: "1-4-All-4-1" by The East Coast Family
Yvette Nicole Brown, to me, seemed like the odd cast member out in Community – a character actress given the chance to shine, and who didn’t really seem steeped in the world of oddball comedy like Donald Glover or Chevy Chase or much of the Dan Harmon-verse. I guess that was true of all the wome...
The Top Ten Worst Songs of 2023

RAMBLE ON: "How the World Works" by Bo Burnham
So, here’s my question for anyone watching: What do you think “How the World Works” is about? Who is Bo Burnham sympathizing with in this sketch?For those who haven’t watched it, Bo Burnham’s brilliant and occasionally insufferable comedy special INSIDE was immediately hailed as the defini...
