That’s the beauty of it though. technically you are of course correct but ‘Bill Clinton’ evokes various things whereas Lewinsky is really only associated with that (even if that is unfortunate) and it just creates the image in the most vivid way possible without being graphic or gross. Obviously also an exciting use of a name as a verb (there must be a linguistic term for this, I love it)

Also love how she sings gowwwn

Sure I mean Birth of the Cool was 49 but I don’t think talking 5-6 fifteen minute sometimes improvised instrumental tracks are really as influential if you get me, but it’s certainly along the path

Alright Vegeta

Quick story then I’ll shut up.

In 2003 I helped run a live in school activity one week program at Birmingham University. The overarching idea of the scheme was to promote to pupils deemed at risk the idea of going to University one day, like just a gentle steer. They were all about to leave school. Not my idea but glad to be part of the scheme. This was on campus and I had to live in the dorms and check nothing crazy happened and take the pupils to activities and mock lectures and at the end of the week do a presentation with them.

Anyhow, I had guidelines that they must be in bed by 11:00 pm but let them stay up until 12:30ish playing pool, table tennis etc then said we need to call it a night. Went to my room and was pretty tired myself. Silence.

Then, like 10 minutes later from my room I heard them all get back up, go back into the social room and blast this FULL VOLUME. Rather than get up and go tell them to get back to bed, etc I just lay there thinking. Wow, what a great tune! Left them to it. First time I’d ever heard it.
