I am an A-1 jerk.

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Barenaked Ladies, "Be My Yoko Ono" from Gordon (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Do not mistake the selection of "Be My Yoko Ono" as the R.B.D.S.O.T.D., nor the quoted lyrics below, as a signal of a softening in my disdainful attitude toward The Beatles: they remain the most overrated band in the history of rock & roll. But the sentiment expressed in "Be My Yoko Ono" is beautiful.

"I would gladly give up musical genius
Just to have you as my very own personal Venus."

This is my favorite post ever. My mistake was not getting permission to post this first, and also the password thing.

Oh, crumbs, I didn't get permission either. Mayhap I should have asked?
