Whenever I see the credit for God Bless the USA I think for a split second, "Wait, the guy who wrote 'Some Velvet Morning'?!"

^^^ this for me but in reverse — whenever I hear people singing the praises of Lee Hazlewood I'm like "Wait, the guy who wrote 'God Bless The USA'?!"

And don't even ask me who's married to Joe Walsh.

today i learned that bill callahan and mark kozelek are separate people.

now i know why i like smog and not sun kil moon

Jena and Erfurt. Going from Berlin to Frankfurt/Main it is Jena first and then Erfurt. I always mix them up.

I think I wouldn't confuse them anymore if I would visit at least one of them but I always drive past.

Tom’s latest looks way scarier than anything Tobe made.

William Peter Blatty
