A Century of Despair Doesn’t Make You Interesting

The enduring palliative of the Cubs fan is that baseball needs the Cubs fan, celebrates the Cubs fan and is metaphysically enriched for being proximate to the Cubs fan. The Cubs fan is a narcissistic boor.

This history of the last year in which the Cubs earned a championship not only tweaks the volubly agonized Cubs fan but also describes a baseball world lost to the ages. It’s violent, controversial, stupid and totally, totally baseball.

It’s totally worth reading.

I can’t believe the White Stripes broke up. Where will I hear their style of music outside of the public domain blues hour on every university radio station in the country?

And tell me where else in music I’m supposed to find an affected, off-putting white midget heavily managing his own image while producing afterthought-retreads in partnership with some girl he used to doink.
