...weird choice for a single for every reason except the gorgeous chorus by Martika. The video is lackluster, like most of his other serious endeavors with the exception of “Mosh,” and the most interesting thing about it is the generic, two dimensional way he portrays the anonymous rappers going after him. In total, it’s paranoid, overly dramatic, and lyrically forceful—a song to rival “Stan,” perhaps, for most crossover potential. I don’t even know what I’m saying...
There's a new vending machine making its way into doctors' offices across the country, but instead of dispensing soda or snacks, it spits out generic-drug samples--for free. Only physicians can access the machines, which are designed to counteract the armies of sales representatives who supply medical offices with samples of expensive brand-name drugs.

...echoed Goffman’s sentiments, saying, “I read about two or three screenplays a night, including weekends. But about 80% is just not good.” Bad scripts, he added, are often either too unrealistic to shoot (endless different locations) or too generic...
