...could give you a feminist shpiel about getting to know her as a person and yada yada yada, but really, all you need to do is present yourself as a decent person and let her know you’re interested in her. You have to lay the groundwork if you want to reap the benefits, which means acting your age and practicing a little respect. Don’t imply you’re interested in a serious relationship if you’re not, and don’t treat her poorly if she does decide you?...
...life. It's just that it has not gone the way he planned. We know that because we have been following him now for 20 years, since he first turned up in 1986 in The Sportswriter, Richard Ford's third novel.

He writhes and clutches his chest on appropriate lines like, “You sit there in your heartache,” Get it? His heart hurts. The song itself is decent, remotely danceable even. Borrowing heavily from The Cure and Bruce Springsteen, the band makes no attempt to incorporate any of the mariachi influences referenced throughout the video. It’s a pity, considering they went to the trouble of growing all that hair, but no big deal. What?...
