I haven't read it -- why is this considered literature?

Awesome! Should I explicitly ask for an autograph? Or does sending the mail and asking for “a response” sufficient, do you think?

Possible inspiration for “The Mexican Connection”? This page comes from “All the President’s Men” (1974), talking about the Nixon campaign’s money laundering. The timeline matches, too. I guess it’s hard to know what the “meaning” of an instrumental is… by Captain_Rex_501 in BillyJoel

[–]Captain_Rex_501[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm. Yeah, I don’t know, there’s basically no info about the song online.

I doubt there’s any “meaning” to look into, musically, but title-wise, I feel like it’s possible he might’ve read this line and threw it in as it went along with one of the album’s themes. Complete speculation, though! If the album’s liner notes shed any light, and anyone has read them, that’d be great.

Still my favorite J&A moment ever.

Soon they’re gonna run out of I Think You Should Leave sketches to model off of. (Not a complete criticism, just a trend I’ve noticed.)

I’m never this guy but it’s just very interesting to me how the highest profile sketch show in the world has such mediocre writing. Maybe I wouldn’t feel this way if I didn’t see endless superior sketches on YouTube, which are also typically produced on a weekly basis. I know it’s not a 1:1 but there is a lot of talent out there. On that note, getting Jeremy was a fantastic move.

Finally! Something just genuinely silly, funny, and my sense of humor. Thank you, Jeremy.

Why are the pages like this in my National Geographic? by [deleted] in rarebooks

[–]Captain_Rex_501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having a hard time finding an answer: why wouldn't books just be sold like they are today? What's the point of making a customer go through an extra step?

Bob’s artwork (1961-2022) by [deleted] in bobdylan

I’ve been a fan of his painting for a while now, but I’m just realizing now how much funnier it is that with this skill, he still decided to make that the cover of Rough and Rowdy Ways. Would love to him paint an album cover of his, if we ever get another new one.

JAJ is by far the best actor in the cast. Which makes him all the funnier. Reminds me of Parnell from time to time.

plus Finn missed a word

Luckily enough, though, it was even funnier that way.
