Oh my god do I ever hate that train song. I mean, what kind of jackass romanticizes the fact that he comes in a close second to "the best soy latte that you ever had.." Whatever.

Your car! Oh NO! Your car was the reason I added you to my buddy list in the first place. Please tell me the horn still works, at least! Oh, and about that Band-Aid, I actually bought that record (yes, RECORD) when it came out. A part of the proceeds went to famine relief in Africa. That famine was the worst in history in that region. Well, my then brother-in-law just HAD to burst my bubble and tell me that most of the money from that record went to the record label, and we got into this big huge fight three days before Christmas in my sister's then-car, a lime green Fiat. My sister told him to leave me alone and let me feel good about helping. Anyway, when they divorced a few years later, my sister told me that that fight, and the way he just had to go around bursting everyone's bubbles, was part of the reason she dumped him. So, with that LOVELY story, I bid you a happy merry joyful winter celebratory season. Hugs!

I think "Rocket Man" is supposed to be based on the short story "R is for Rocket" by Ray Bradbury. I know this because in 8th grade my English teacher made us read the story and then brought the 45 of "Rocket Man" in to play for us. I can't remember 90% of the shit I learned in high school or college, but I remember that one dumb fact. And you know, for over 20 years now I've wondered why that piece of trivia has been rattling around in my brain when so much other information has been lost, and now I know: I've been storing that factoid all these years so that I could share it with you now. So there. And I freakin' love that "Do They Know It's Christmas?" song! Band Aid is like the cooler alternate universe version of USA for Africa.

Elton John is absolutely right: Mars is a lousy place to raise kids. The public schools are underfunded, the urban areas are rife with crime, and the atmosphere suffers from a shocking state of underoxygenation.
