So far, James Acsater's arc on Celebrity Traitors is pretty great.

Tonight, I realized that one of my favorite genres is just "British Men in Suits." It covers so much of what I love.

I heard Jodie Whittaker has a little crush on me. It's flattering, honestly.

"The Thin Blue Line" (1988) is still so good.

And of COURSE she did Theater. She was probably the most theatrical person I've ever met.

In the 1950s, Dylan Thomas visited Smith College and tried to feel up my late mother-in-law. She said he was pretty drunk and that the effort came off as far more pathetic than threatening. She was such a hilarious person, and I miss her, and tonight I especially miss hearing this story.

The tension-to-release ratio on this tune is nuts. I have a unified field theory about this art. Have me on your podcast to talk about it.

This may be the apex of what Adrian had to bring to this operation. And it helps to remember that Fripp was never immune to making great pop music. Fripp produced and played on Daryl Hall's 1977 solo album, and people really don't talk about that enough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKAG...
