Should he be compelled to perform, he could simply play "Pop Goes the Weasel" over and over for the amount of time stipulated in the contract. This would fulfill his obligation, he'd avoid the threatened lawsuit, the administration would be mightily irritated, and he'd get a paycheck.

And all of them from this movie are spoken by Tuco.
"If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?"
"Anyone who double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he knows nothing about Tuco."
"There are two kinds of spurs, my friend..." etc.

Thee mighty Stooges. My favorite bit of lore is how they arrived in NYC to record the album but were woefully short of material, so they wrote a bunch of songs in the hotel the night before. Listen to "Real Cool Time." It’s totally a written-in-a-hotel-room-the-night-before song.

Leave Home, Young Loud and Snotty, and NMTB are huge for me. The fact that they were released in the same year is proof that I was born at the right time. (Does that mean I'm kind of old now? Sure, but that was going to happen anyway.) And adding those other albums to the mix? 1977 was seismic.

Oh GOD I wore this record out when it was released. So goddamn great! (Um, yeah, there's the little matter of a certain word in For the Love of Ivy and Black Train that keeps me from playing it for guests...)

I was 17. That means I'm kinda old now, which was going to happen anyway. But being 17 when that shit was new? Wouldn't trade it for anything.

Has she apologized? I may or may not have been manipulated to believe that she is (has been) a Sandy Hook truther, which is hard for me to get past. Man, she rocks, though...
