This is your annual reminder that in 2005 I saw Bobby "Boris" Pickett live when he was a surprise guest at a Rocket From The Crypt show. He sang one song ("Monster Mash") and prefaced it by saying, "Elvis said this song was the stupidest thing he ever heard, but he died on the toilet, so fuck him!"

Legacy rock groups have figured this out, re-releasing all their classic albums in $200 box sets that include pointless remixes, demos and live recordings most fans already have, and useless collector tchotchkes.

Pop stars really unlocked a cheat code when they found a way to convince stans the best way to show their love is to spend all of their money on all of their things including 15 versions of the same album and endless merch

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen.

Bar none.

Period.

That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens.

She deserves the Nobel Prize

In the 1970s Brigantine Castle cast a dark shadow on the Jersey Shore. This haunted attraction didn't last long, but with its memorable advertising and foreboding appearance, it has remained well-remembered. Today on the Retroist I look at its history.

My GNR book might be delayed yet again bc the third party that effed up the copy editing with AI also effed up the index with AI. Random phrases were cherry picked, so it's like "Appetite for Destruction, hotel listening in, pg xx." They also created listings for all the slurs in "One in a Million."

We watched that show Haunted Hotel with Will Forte. It’s basically “what if Bob’s Burgers was about ghosts and was also fucking mid as hell?” I’ve been more invested in receipts from the grocery store.

Not on par with this but still worth checking out is the I Love Lucy where Lucy gets trapped in Richard Widmark's house because she was trying to steal a grapefruit from him.
