Lame list.
With even lamer commentary.
Mal: Which one you figure tracked us? Zoe: The ugly one, sir. Mal: Could you be more specific?

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Moslty I was amused by the idea of John Denver singing "Please Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas."

At one point, I sent "Drinkin' Through Christmas", from one of the WFMU collections, to b'rawk.

Oh God, last weekend at my house might as well have been titled, "Hark, the Fuckin' Kids Are Crying'." Three and a half is a difficult age.
I was reading about Brian May the other day, and started counting rock musicians with PhDs. I remember hearing that one of the members of The Offspring was a PhD (looked him up, Dexter Holland, and it appears that he never finished, but was a molecular biologist) and I know Corey Brennan, who wrote his Harvard dissertation in Classics, on the praetorship in the Roman republic, while touring Europe with The Lemonheads. Any others?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My favorite messed up xmas song is "Scratches on the Door" performed by Freakwater. It's a true story about a guy who locked his kids in the house on Xmas eve so he could go out drinking. While he was gone the house burned down. Yes, the title means what you think it means.
On a lighter note, this is my favorite new xmas song of the year. A duet between Meatwad & Nico Case: [link]

Warren Zane (brother of Dan Zane), used to be in the Del Fuegos and is now a Professor. (I think of English.) He wrote the 33 1/3 book on Dusty Springfield.
Franklin Bruno, indie rocker/professor.
Phil Alvin, lead singer of the Blasters, got his Ph.D. in mathematics.
All of the members of Queen, except Freddy, had advanced degrees in science, so add Roger Taylor and John Deacon.
Didn't Milo from the Descendents not only go to college but also get an advanced degree? (They had an album titled Milo Goes to College.)
