Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

IIRC from one of Hec's Remedial Pop Literacy lessons, the hearing aid is a callback to an early rockabilly performer who wore a hearing aid as an affectation

HAR! In the Danny Kaye movie "Wonder Man", there's a running joke of a thug who uses a hearing aid. The hearing aid actually occludes his hearing and he keeps having to ask his co-thug to repeat things. When co-thug finally flips out, he retorts "I think it makes me look very distingué".

Wow, I didn't know that about Johnny Ray (not that I knew a lot about Johnny Ray). That Hecubus is a treasure trove.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

The Great Pop Things cartoons about Morrissey and his gigantic sad chin are treasures of rock criticism.

And while I'm referencing Morrissey references, in the back of my head I'm hearing "I saw you on TV/Doing a bad imitation of a second-rate songwriter from the 80s named Moh-riss-ey/I never liked Moh-riss-ey/And I don't like you" from "Anti Music Song," which always makes me laugh.

Are we talking about the potential Smiths reunion yet, by the way?

Oh, and I'll add that the Pet Shop Boys' "I Didn't Get Where I Am Today" rocks as hard as it does because of the great Johnny Marr. And I actually recognized his sound, which I am never music-smart enough to do before I know who's actually playing.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I too didn't know that about Johnny Ray. Though I'd recommend his music to anyone exploring the roots of rock 'n' roll. "Cry" may be the very first great blue-eyed soul song.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I got my Xmas present from my jazzbo bro -- he sent me the Thelonious Monk Quartet w/Coltrane at Carnegie Hall. It is so, so, SO good.
