  • What's the difference between the Beach Boys and the Rolling Stones?

    COMPARISON #15:

    *(Yes, Kiss released four albums on the same day in 1978, but those were solo releases from each of the four members individually.)

    • "Spider-man" by Ramones

      "Spider-man" by Moxy Fruvous

      The Moxy Fruvous version is new to me.

    I could keep these "comparisons" up indefinitely (believe me), but I gotta stop somewhere and this seems as good a place as any (at least temporarily).

  • THIS IS ME when I was in college.

    (It's also why I never had a girlfriend.)

    Now I've got a wife who never fails to ask me, "What's on the flip side?"
