Joanna Newsome's dress was the one that boggled me. That heart-shaped pinafore thing with the ruffles?
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Beastie Boys were originally a punk band, and they were thoroughly embedded in the NYC punk scene. It's not like they had their punk cards revoked and weren't allowed to hang out any more after they broke as a hip-hop group.

Every time I see him mentioned with Joanna Newsome, I conflate her with Laraine Newman because I do not know who Joanna Newsome is and I associate him with SNL and Laraine Newman was on SNL. And then I am ALL confused and bothered because she is so much older than him. And then I see pictures and I am more confused because how in the hell does Laraine Newman look that young. And then I google and remember that I just don't know who Joanna Newsome is.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That is all true! It's more that Kathleen Hanna would marry a ROCK STAR than a Beastie Boy would be attracted to her. And while the Beastie Boys outgrew their earlier frat-boy anthems and sexism, it still feels incongruous with Queen of the Riot Girls.
And then I google and remember that I just don't know who Joanna Newsome is.
She's a musician known for her complex indie chamber pop (she plays the harp) and her squeaky singing voice (an acquired taste to be sure).

I know who she is now, but I have never heard her stuff as far as I know. And I'll forget by next time, I'm sure.

Is there somewhere where I can watch the GG highlights, particularly Samberg and Oh?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Back to full work weeks. Bleh.

This was the first morning that felt halfway-normal, traffic-wise, and that I made a normal amount of money for a normal number of trips!
