I still don't think it's sexist. People express hostility towards their significant others and engage in power struggles all the time, but sexism has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, the word "fool" does bother me. But in context, he's trying to say that she'll like it. "It's gonna be alright."

five years pass...

Heard this one yesterday at a bar and remembered how good it is after years of not touching it. Probably a top 10 Rolling Stones' song for me.

Head over heels on those misogynistic marimbas.

this song's perfect musically. i tuned into it on the radio mid-song and there's just something glorious about the way all the instruments come together. like a beautiful accident.

i have no idea what the hell frank k. was on about upthread, though.
