...late late hour of midnight to give a toast to “doing what you want” and then fled as the young set started grinding to Daft Punk and RJD2 (who made an appearance at WHRB this weekend)...in case you thought Third Eye Blind was bad, Yale booked Sister Hazel for their Spring Fling this year. Unfortunately for us, they also booked T.I. and emo heartthrobs the Format. Further proof we all should have gone to Yale...
...movie Pedro often has a woman problem. At times a female will be too aggressive for him, like the smoldering, man-eating Katy Jurado in The Seminarian: "Are you retarded? Or are you afraid of me?" she asks as she brazenly removes her shawl. A more troubling blind spot in the Infante character: he keeps falling in love with racial snobs.

...assessing Imus' show is a subjective judgment, and setting these boundaries is as much an aesthetic call as a moral one. It's arbitrary, nebulous and, yes, unfair. Who doesn't have a list of artists or leaders whose sins they rationalize: Elvis Costello for calling Ray Charles a "blind, ignorant nigger," Eminem for peppering his lyrics with "faggot," Jesse Jackson for "Hymietown," D.W. Griffith for lionizing the Klan or T.S. Eliot for maligning Jews...
