"You think rock n' roll will set you free/You'll be dead before you're 33."
Ha ha, Joke's on you blondie. I have embraced the sex, drugs and rock n' roll lifestyle since I was 14 (back when a 'nickel bag' actually cost $5) and I'm...I forget how old...but most likely well beyond 33.

I was hoping this was a hymn to Gary Gygax. :(

Best line:
"You think rock n' roll will set you free/You'll be dead before you're 33."

Actually the line is "deaf." But dead would've been pretty prescient, considering he wrote the song for Janis Joplin.
And in any case, the best line is obviously "gonorrhea on Valentine's Day/ and you're still looking for the perfect lay."

Is this blog queerly in sync to NPR, particularly Fresh Air? Radosh=Terry Gross?

Bil Keane is dead. Oh, wait, no: that's God.
