Saturday Night Open Thread

I don’t often argue about stuff, but sometime I do.

Okay, I do that a lot, actually. That’s not the point.

One surprising argument I got into was over the Supertramp song “Goodbye Stranger.”

I liked the Breakfast In America album. I can still listen to it today. In fact, I might just do that. But, back when the album was out, I got into an argument with someone in the dorm at college about it. He said it promoted Satanism. I said it didn’t.

His argument was the lyrics “the Devil is my savior.” My argument was that the line went “You can … say the Devil is my savior, but I don’t pay no heed.” I won the argument, but he might never have realized it. Such is life at college.

It’s too tedious to read all the way through, but do at least give it a good skimming. Quit when your stomach starts churning.

I think I made it through 15 or so, and then I had to go out and rage-punch a reporter.

Might’ve been the mailman, though. I might be going to jail.

The Passing of a Cultural Icon

A new survey shows that newspapers are continuing their downward trend of lower circulation and revenues.

Tragic. It saddens me to think that future generations may never know how to dispose of a fish or keep a birdcage clean.

Now, the Vikings…
