...heavy, but brother was it tuneful - and fun. What's more, the made-up combo more often than not sang the hell out of their hits; eventually, they demanded more control over their destiny (exit Kirshner) and began to play and write their own songs, some of them quite decent. They woke up, but for a short while the dream continued anyway, and they got to become the real band their critics had savaged them for not being...
...soiled. Some, no doubt, will cease to drink there, unwilling to be patron to a place so tainted by scandal. But we call upon all good Harvard students to continue to support the Grille in this, its trying hour of need.

...what all smart high school kids do when they can't win the presidency of an existing club: I started my own. Figuring the best place to begin cleaning up is your own home, I decided to start a committee to decent-ize my own columns, which might, for example, get rid of "whores" in the middle of the preceding paragraph. And the "watch porn" thing in that same paragraph. And the Cinemax stuff...
