...experiment with the boundaries of pop music, Newsom’s unparalleled complexity and imagination serve to weed out the casual or unadventurous while rewarding the faithful; a close parallel would be Captain Beefheart.

Kelly earnestly tell the camera...
...that the election is over and the voice of the disgruntled majority has reclaimed the legislature, it’s time for those among us who spammed a house email list, routinely tuned into the news, rocked a “Rock the Vote” t-shirt, or (democracy forbid!) actually voted to give ourselves a congratulatory pat on the back.
