NIXON: "Tiny Desk" concert? What a load of bourgeois codswallop. HALDEMAN: Indeed, Mr. President. NIXON: A concert ought to take place in a goddamn auditorium. HALDEMAN: I agree, Mr. President. It is ... repulsive.

I'm sorry but you don't know Sue Simmons. You don't know Phil Rizzuto for the Money Store. You don't know the SBLI jingle. I don't even live there and I'm more a New Yorker than you are. You're a dude from Ohio who lives on Union Avenue. You don't know shouting PIX at an Intellivision.

I have been reading a book of Tolkienā€™s letters. Heā€™s such an odd character; at once very much of his time and very much not of it, which I think comes from being sort of doubly old-fashioned, both now and also for most of his life. But hereā€™s an entertaining one from the mid-1960s.

I am neither disturbed (nor surprised) at the limitations of my 'fame'. There are lots of people in Oxford who have never heard of me, let alone of my books.
But I can repay many of them with equal ignorance: neither wilful nor contemptuous, simply accidental. An amusing incident occurred in November, when I went as a courtesy to hear the last lecture of this series of his given by the Professor of Poetry: Robert Graves (a remarkable creature, entertaining, likeable, odd, bonnet full of wild bees, half-German, half-Irish, very tall, must have looked like Siegfried/Sigurd in his youth, but an Ass). It was the most ludicrously bad lecture I have ever heard. After it he introduced me to a pleasant young woman who had attended it: well but quietly dressed, easy and agreeable, and we got on quite well. But Graves started to laugh; and he said: 'it is obvious neither of you has ever heard of the other before. Quite true. And I had not supposed that the lady would ever have heard of me.

You can tell Thin Lizzy was early in the twin guitar situation because they're both playing Gibsons, when everybody knows the rule is one Gibson, one Fender

I'm sorry but I really need to tell you right now that the German word for "hydrogen" is "wasserstoff" which translates to "water stuff"

A movie which is not good, but which I respect enormously for how totally bonkers it is along every possible vector, is 1993's "Super Mario Bros." It was directed by the creators of Max Headroom, which makes a lot of sense.
