Bill Clinton reminds me of Scott Schwartz, the actor who played the spoiled rich kid in The Toy (1982, with Richard Pryor) and also played Flick in A Christmas Story (nothing against Scott Schwartz). Especially as an adult. Tell me I’m wrong.

That dude worked at a hollywood collectibles store next to the movie theater I worked at in high school. He did porn around this time too. His dad was weird.
Given that The Toy used a joke calling him Master Bates, he was fated to porn.
I used to work with a guy whose last name was Bates. I always respectfully referred to him as Master Bates.
Even saying Mr. Bates gets the joke across.
What joke?

:lol: Fantastic. A few weeks ago in my punk class, someone brought up pop punk and Blink-182 and said that if people like pop punk, knock yourself out, but I can't find anything complimentary to say about Blink-182.

God damn, what a mess Live is/was. I assumed Ed K (not going to look up how to spell his name) was the asshole in the band, kicking everyone out when he rejoined, but things are...more complicated than that.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Holy smokes, that's a huge amount of drama for what is, fundamentally, some of the blandest music the 90s ever produced.

I like the part where they bought a building and then the building collapsed.

*edit* there is a "Selling the Drama" joke to be made here.

The contempt exhibited by the parties is like Ray and Jello talking about the history of DKs.

Live falls somewhere between Matchbox 20 and Creed on the cool meter.

Hello,

I think it means somewhere between bland and blander.

Sad and sadder would be my take.

Matchbox 20 had some bangers tho?

Anyways, that grifter that the non-"talented" Live guys got hooked up with sounds like an amalgamation of Elon Musk, George Santos and Ted Bundy.
