who is Bob Lefsetz?

I'm convinced I'm gonna get the virus. Yup, after Angela Merkel said 60-70% of the public would get it. And then there was that U.S. prognosticator who claimed 40-60% yesterday. It seems that we're self-quarantining as to not overwhelm the health system, but how long is that gonna last?

first letter in today's lefsetz mailbag:

I am happy I am a hermit now.

Peter Noone

made me smile.

Speaking of truth, the definitive song on this is Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows." And at this point, everybody seems to know that, but they do not know the definitive version, which is by Don Henley:

Meanwhile, back to Henley. Am I the only person who has had "The End Of The Innocence" playing through their head?

"And you wonder why everybody talks about Netflix instead of music. No one in music is taking any responsibility, at least no one with a power or a vision."

came here to post the Henley line

that whole record is weirdly good tho. even billy joel.

well, yeah

You can't go to Coachella in your cut-offs and t-shirt, YOU'LL BE IGNORED!

fetch the bob cutters!

She's her own woman. She is affected by her relationships. She's thinking about her relationships. Men are an important focus of her life, seemingly the main focus in her life.

This is just the opposite of the feminism being sold in the media.

what a fuckin idiot man

_why_ is Bob Lefsetz

That’s the world we now live in, everybody’s boasting, trying to pull themselves up the socioeconomic ladder. It’s all about lifestyle baby!

But not Bosch. Harry Bosch is a cop. He can’t let the cold cases slip his mind. He wants the perps to pay. He’ll push the limits, but he won’t go past them. He’s on a mission, he wants to nail people. And not only the destitute and poor, but the rich who believe they’re above the law.

Lefsetz for Hire

Lefsetz P.I.

just like with Jeffrey Epstein, when a billionaire gives you money...you take it and shut up.

Every revival of this thread feels like a microaggression.

you haven't lived until you've received an email from lefsetz on a summer afternoon with the subject "lesbian tiktok"

I'm texting even though it's two in the morning, if my recipients didn't turn off the ringer, they deserve to be woken up!

In other words, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are not doing anything the men haven’t done before. Rock was built on sex (and sexism). We even had a band called “Whitesnake,” which released an album whose title track was “Slide It In” (which was quite good, in fact).

i mean, he's not wrong, but. . . gross.

Never heard Slide It In, but today happened to be the first time I ever looked into the verse lyrics from Rock You Like a Hurricane

It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking and pretty loud
My cat is purring, it scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?
The bitch is hungry, she needs to tell
So give her inches and feed her well
More days to come, new places to go
I've got to leave, it's time for a show

That's actually relieving. I had thought for years it was "beat her well", which was far more disturbing.

OK, yeah, that's a definite "f".

Idk where I read the other one.

yeah scorpions definitely get skeezy and it's amplified by the odd word choices i'm assuming resulting from them being german writing in english

Slide It In is a good album.

my irreverent whitesnake story:

they recorded this song on their first album, which is a cover of the bobby bland tune. i knew it from here. before i was aware of the connection, an old coworker played that whitesnake album by chance one day and i thought it was supremely hilarious when that song came on.

"I've got a PHD in WAP!"

do you guys think he knows that he has an entire thread of 1200++ posts dedicated to poking fun at him?

i like think he reads it occasionally. hi bob. i loathe you and am equally fascinated by you.

I saw "the Lefsetz Letter" referenced IRL recently, in some artist's press blurb. Gave me the jeebies.

He seems like a guy who has Google alerts set up about himself

jfc

And the cradle will no longer rock.

That's my favorite Van Halen song. It sounds so alive, but Eddie Van Halen isn't.

lol this fuckin' hack

i mean, favorites are subjective and he's technically not wrong about everything else.

"Yes, we are still 'Jump'-ing but Eddie can't because he's dead of throat cancer."

"Sammy can't drive 55 because he's over the legal limit on Cabo Wabo, and Wolfie can't drive because his learner's permit expired, but Eddie can't because he expired, earlier today, after years of battling throat cancer in a body ravaged by alcohol abuse"

lol im dying

sadly, eddie has literally died, and is dead

And now time has told us that Eddie could not stand the test of time

Eddie Van Halen, age 65, has finished what he started and now it is we who are incomplete.

Somebody Get Me a Doctor (to certain the death of Eddie Van Halen)

With the passing of Eddie there are undoubtedly a number of very sad Van Halen fans throughout the world, it's unlikely that Jamie's the only one cryin'.

Rock and roll doesn't need you. You see rock and roll is a band of outsiders.

There, I said it.
