John Belushi and The Ravens

I loved Belushi. He was fantastically funny and cool as hell. Hell, before Belushi who knew what an Armenian was? More than a comedian, he was always musically swayed. Wait, screw that the guy made cheeboigahs cool and was one badass Killer Bee.

It is almost like I’m pretending I know stuff I don’t. When all information is at your fingertips, every opinion you offer is corrupted by limitless amounts of other people’s ideas.

Women love Adele, it is, more or less, a sexually segegated success. Because I can’t see many men liking too much of this. It is a brutal, whining, disturbed aching, needy, piece of crap. PS, her first album, 19, is in at #15.
