I wish Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend could have gotten a proper chance at love.
You can tell Peter's not afraid to motor 'round to Her Highness's downtown abbey.
Ladies?

The fascinating guitar player on this classic song is Wilko Johnson.
Thirty-seven years later he would go on to play Ser Ilyn Payne on Game of Thrones.
You guys, the guitarist from Dr. Feelgood totally killed Ned Stark, and no one is talking about this.

It's my birthday, so tonight I ~may~ invoke my privilege to force my stupid teen to finally watch "Drive" (2011).
I probably won't because honestly the ongoing threat and constant harassment is pretty fun by itself.
Anyway.
He drives.

What a remarkably detailed song. Every cubic inch of this song is thoroughly considered and emotionally optimized.
Imagine being in a room in 1964 and hearing this happening.

If June Carter were in my grade, I would have made her a mixtape.
And the irony is it would have included this song by her son-in-law.
The timestream gets complicated given the music video for the song features actual footage of the singer marrying her daughter.

The premise is that Christian Bale keeps blowing his per diem on poor investments.
Things like, say, a "reverse toilet." As envisioned by a man who has no skill or expertise at envisioning toilets.
Improv is the best.
