...Grohl’s snide, tossaway lyrics (“Good and bad, I swear I’ve had / Them both, they’re overrated / But isn’t it fun, when you get hold of one”) and his hoarse scream in the chorus. The Foos do cynicism and disenchantment with both more of an ironic sparkle and less pretension than many pretenders to the rock throne...

The play centers on “her participation in a story [“The Highwayman”] that may or may not exist independently of her,” says Jarcho, and “the guest characters are like a chorus from this other world.” Shrugging as she struggles to summarize the experimental and abstract work, she jokes, “It’s hard to talk about it without sounding a little pretentious and silly...

The genius of Ketchup is that its bouncy chorus--"Asereje ja de je de jebe tu de jebere seibunouva/Majavi an de buguni an de buididipi"--means the same thing in Spanish as in English: nothing. The words are a gibberish homage to the opening line of the first rap song, Sugar Hill Gang's 1979 hit Rapper's Delight. America's familiarity with the original...
