Love this, especially the music. My favourite couple of quotes:
I'm going to keep sleeping with lots of women, get drunk, and be a bad father and friend…yet somehow, I'll still be one of the most beloved characters on television.
Now I gotta go and sleep with Joan and Jane. I'm old and gray but I get the hottest tail on the show.
Season 5 starts this week. Can't wait.
I live perpetually in 1991.
There's a touching 40-something / mid-life crisis piece by Miranda Sawyer in today's Observer.
Apologies for spoiler of quoting her concluding paragraph, but it's too lovely to ignore:
Midlife or not, in the end, or in the middle, these are the days of my life. These are the days of your life. And the thing to do – is live them.
Miranda was my favourite music journalist in the 90's. Her quality remains high.
An advert for fried chicken. That's what it is.
I was going to moan about it. KFC using a cover of an Embrace song and trying to make their product somehow classy.
I was going to quote Merlin Mann:
....the same company that first made American adults like your grandparents feel entirely comfortable feeding their family out of a greasily translucent cardboard bucket.
I was going to link to his excellent post from last year when KFC introduced this brown thing where the chicken somehow was the bun, and recall his tweet:
However, I've since read that despite my belief that they quietly split up 5 years ago, Embrace have a new album in the works. I love Embrace.
Things don't seem so bad now. I fancy a Zinger and Hot Wings.
