      No, seriously, The Pixies suck.

      1. SIV   14 years ago

        That's why I countered with a good song by Wire.

    Did everyone just agree to pretend that Morgan Freeman wasn't fucking his granddaughter?

    1. Woody Allen   14 years ago

      They're not blood-related, so it's cool.

    2. joeyjojojrshabadoo   14 years ago

      Hey,he served his time. Let it go man.

    3. Woody Allen   14 years ago

      Yes.

    4. cynical   14 years ago

      He just did his Morgan Freeman voice and everyone forgot.

  3. girlgenius   14 years ago

    Btw, Matt Welch, you're not crazy. Morgan Freeman was indeed on The Electric Company where he played, among others, the awesome Easy Reader character. Yes, we're old and it sucks.

    Matt, how many martinis did you drink?
