This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Reminds me back in '92, we joked that George Clinton should go on tour with Gwar (so it'd be the Clinton-Gwar tour).

A lot of odd stories have risen around Shkreli following this.... But in perhaps the strangest, there were rumors that he was the deep-pocketed investor behind Collect Records, the independent punk/hardcore label run by former Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One of my friends was doing a lot of in-depth research on Shkreli, including message boards by traders of Biotech stocks and he's super shady.
There's a strong feeling that (a) he has rich backer who's been using him as a front; and (b) he was purposefully put out to take heat and manipulate the stock market with this stunt.
Apparently there's a huge amount of false reports and FDA decoying used to manipulate biotech stocks. Shkreli himself - with no official scientific credentials - was allowed to write reports for the FDA. Also, his hedge fund was not licensed which is apparently very shady.
Anyway, my impression is that there's a lot more subterranean shit going on with this story than an asshole blowing up on Twitter.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I have been listening to the Hamilton OCR stream on NPR at least once a day since it was posted. It is so good. It drops in iTunes at midnight.
LMM references so much in the songs: pop culture, other musicals.
What is killing me right now is when Hamilton yells at Washington to not call him son.

I went to college with him! We had friends in common, though he wouldn't remember me. Still, it's been super exciting to see him do so much great work and be recognized for it.
