Shit. I'm almost 50 and I hope to achieve that someday.

I mean, that is true, but aren't we all just skeletons covered in meat?

"Swimming With Skeletons" would be a great name for a "Poltergeist" documentary, or a JoBeth Williams memoir.

Megafauna is a hell of a band name.

You mean the button nobody ever used?

1. Racism

2. Misogyny

3. Envy

Not necessarily in that order.

KC: "X axis??... What X axis?"

That turnover by TEN should have been an incomplete pass since their QB had forward motion and was propelling the ball forward with his own force before it fell on the field and was ruled a fumble, but for whatever reason the refs looked at it for all of 2 seconds before they confirmed it.

Stop looking at incel playlists. Those morons are better off being shunned completely.

I've literally never heard of the term "virgin music," but it sounds completely dumb.

You don't need approval from haters to like the music you like. If you like Weezer, be proud of it. They're a great band and I've seen them perform a few times in person. Their music is fun, they have a distinct sound, and they have great replay value.

Come on, don't bullshit me.

I suppose Jane Wyman is the first lady.

If he waited a few years, he could've just called the song 988.

I read that as "Geena Davis," and now I think I need a nap.

This is a weird-ass fuckin' timeline.

Is his name solely exotic on its own though, or because he made it famous through a hair care products brand that's famous throughout the world?

Yeah, it's mostly New England and the northeastern US running on Dunkin.

Dunkin and Wawa.

The documentary was not fake.

The accusations of sexual misconduct were.

Wasn't that HBO documentary criticized for being extremely one-sided by promoting untrue allegations of sexual abuse from two accusers as fact, even though they walked them back later after the allegations were exposed as false?

Was MJ's behavior weird and inappropriate? Definitely. Do I believe he was aware at the time that it would be considered to be what we now refer to as "grooming?" No. Do I think that it extended to inappropriate sexual contact? No, nor is there any proof to corroborate accusations that it did.

For as much as the public saw Michael Jackson as an adult, in many ways, he seemed to still be mentally focused on being a "kid" and exploring the childhood he never had due to abuse and being groomed by people in showbiz himself. That's why he identified so strongly with Peter Pan and why his mansion was a big playhouse with an amusement park, and why his behavior extended to palling around with children much, much younger than him, often with their parents' knowledge and consent. And I don't think the sense of any of it being wrong entered his mind until the allegations and court battles started, at which point he suddenly pivoted into trying to prove himself as an adult -- getting married, having kids, etc.

MJ had major mental, emotional, and interpersonal issues that weren't treated with the level of appropriate therapy and intervention that they deserved. He was enabled by those around him and vulnerable to people taking advantage of his trust, and all of that contributed to his early death, and it's really easy to make jokes about the dead and accuse them of crimes when they're no longer around to push back. And that's exactly what that documentary tried to do.

It's still in regular rotation year-round on the retro radio stations in my local market.
