O’Reilly-Style
Well, it was bound to happen: two old white guys try to parse pop culture.
Fox News Psychiatrist (and that title alone should crack you up) Keith Ablow:
“I think what this fellow is tapping into… is the fact that people don’t want any meaning right now. It is just is sort of like a drug and that seems to be what most people seem to want right now. Not reality, not feeling, not meaning.”
To which Falafel-boy responds:
“So it means nothing but it’s got a nice upbeat to it but you can [dance] The Pony and ride around.”
Which only leads one thing:
UPDATE: Our good friend and Scissorhead Big Bad Bald Bastard gives us the definitive last word on Falafel-boy’s pop culture street cred.
Hey, we ALL know Pat Boone and Andy Williams is where it’s really at….
Mr. Bastard breaks it down for Billo
Kiwi – I love the way B4 does this sort of post. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

“The lack of insight if you will is reflected in this person’s popularity.” — Keith Ablow
I believe Ablow just did a unwitting critique on his own career — unintended, I’m sure, but that’s what happens when one releases one’s mouth before engaging one’s brain.
I could watch Bill-O and The Good Doctor, but I did watch the Paul Lynde bit.
Some people just shouldn’t have kids, if you know what i mean.
Thanks for the link, old chum! The whole “this song is meaningless” business really chapped my ass, as you can tell.
