But “What is and What Should Never Be” is iambic tetrameter!
But “What Is and What Never Should Be” is in swing time!
To this day, I have never listened to Led Zeppelin’s “What Is and What Should Never Be,” because I’m annoyed that it’s not the rhythmically superior “What Is and What Never Should Be.”

I completely forgot that I had uploaded these drawings I did ten years ago to Flickr over a year ago. (Those of you who were reading this then may remember. Apologies for repeating myself.)
Oof. Dunno if I deserved the leadoff spot there; but plenty of great writing past that.

Springsteen or Manfred? I’m assuming the latter but I can never tell these sorts of things with you.
Oh, MMEB, for sure. The tag goes to this post.
Just finished eating a BLT
of course if I needed a bong it would have been even better
nobody’s impressed this is the internet
and also sitting around until I got my turntable working again
to the left to the left
he said pretentiously
and not just because I have some bronchial thing
No seriously who is this?
Blinded by the Light is one of the greatest songs of the 70s
overly casual tumbling
God look at that linework.
and by you I mean me
run a filesharing search
that’s right I went Wodehouse on you
I try really hard to be funny and don’t often succeed.
“Bushmiller’s naifs, though adrift in these modern ad- and techno-scapes, are more creative and less resigned than their cinematic compatriots. Where Tati’s clueless Hulot traipses through modernity unawares, or where Tashlin’s gormless Jerry Lewises endure and bull ahead, Nancy and Sluggo interact with their surroundings with a literal-minded inventiveness, a can-do vacuity. So when Aunt Fritzi denies her niece a soda, but permits her a sandwich, Nancy wraps some bread around a root beer. Or, with soldiers demobbing and papers calling for post-war “reconversion,” Nancy plugs her toy cannons with pansies. And when a guard demands that the kids “obey every sign,” they rebel instead, however brainlessly: upon entering the room labelled “lounge”, the duo range out and recline, heads lolling blithely in hands.” — Sean Rogers on the holy vacuity of Bushmiller.

mengel419 asked: I just discovered your "Stay Up Late" site--by accident. I'm still exploring it, and I am floored. It's wonderful--your commentary is excellent. I've been a devotee of roots music since college (I'm 68)--especially 1920s jazz, blues, country--but I'm going through all of your lists. Are you really just half my age?
Apparently! And thank you.
