- That is one front-loaded first stanza in terms of contemporary talent.
- Why so sad, Sam Smith?
- I like that they changed Bono's line. I don't like what they changed it to.

#8: why?
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously morbid.
ReplyDeleteNo Dan Aykroyd = no sale.
ReplyDeleteI hate this song. Hate it hate it hate it. Do they know it's Christmas in Western Africa? Well, depending on which count you use, it's between 2/3 and 3/4 Muslim, so do they care? With the exception of Liberia, Christianity is often the number #3 religion in these countries. Nice to see that British well-intensioned colonialist attitudes still exist. Also nice to bring out my college minor once in a while.
ReplyDeleteCould they have... I don't know, written a new song? Like "Christmas is Actually Less Of A Thing Now But Hunger Isn't and We Should Get On That?"
ReplyDeleteOh..that's what Bastille looks like. Huh.
ReplyDeleteI would buy that song.
ReplyDeleteYou're just the guy to write it, Paul. Get started.
ReplyDeleteNeedless
ReplyDeletePerhaps it balances the well-intentioned jihadist ?
