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.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

He's close with people I know from college. The Tony-winning husband of my college friend. It kinda blows me away. I lurves him.

We Buffistas are a well-connected lot.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Saw Hamilton for my birthday - it's pretty damn wonderful.

David, are you allowed to do another 33 ⅓ book? Have you considered pitching Bad Music for Bad People? Because duh,

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Why are they not the most famous rock couple ever?
They are to me!
David, are you allowed to do another 33 ⅓ book?
No.
But I don't think they've done a Cramps album yet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, how popular was Off Broadway outside of the Chicago area? A friend of mine was surprised I'd heard a lot of their songs growing up in Wisconsin.
Their album On is full of great pop songs.

They did have a track on Rhino's Power Pop compilation, but basically they're only known to power pop nerds.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Off Broadway did "Stay in Time," correct? I remember that song from about the time I graduated high school, but I don't remember hearing anything else from them.
But my part of Wisconsin was well within the range of Chicago AM (John Records Landeker, anyone?) and Rockford FM stations. So I had at least some exposure to bands like Cheap Trick and REO Speedwagon before they broke nationwide.
