Jerry, where are you now?
Because Aerosmith’s “Angel” is playing on the radio, I think of dear Jerry, his S-S-S-S-Samantha Fox poster, and his beat-up Renault. Heh.
Besides bringing back one of the few fond memories I’ve got of 11th grade, this is indeed a mullet-rock (thanks Lucie for that term, I’m totally stealing it) power-ballad eighties [...]

Matthew Yglesias: A Cop-Out
