Reply to comment by ThrowaDev88 in Did the Julie Browns just "agree" have one be "Downtown"? by ThrowaDev88
Ah. As an aside, it got me looking up past MTV names, including Kurt Loder, which brought up a mock MTV News piece of him covering the then-missing Yellowjackets.

To what is this in reference? I haven’t read nor heard anything about the Julie Browns in decades, since when I was still in high school.

That's true. I hadn't thought of that. It might seem like some sort of commercial or ad pitch, otherwise.

Maybe, since McCartney has invested in Next Gen Foods, Weird Al can revisit the song, fitting in plant-based artificial chicken, somehow.

McCartney is vegetarian, not vegan.
So, no loss, continued consumption of dairy products and all. Probably honey, too.
Edit - Or, as Todd from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World would say, Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian.

Huh...Harry Anderson and Markie Post both passed away, so it's gonna be kind of weird.

“Chicken Pot Pie” would’ve been great. I still can’t believe that Paul McCartney opposed it because he’d gone vegetarian, the proposed song being a parody and all, versus a serious advocation.

I hope they really push the suicide bounds of credibility, beyond a jump from the third story. Garroted self or drowned self in a bucket of water would be nice.

That wouldn't seem to inspire much confidence on the parts of Russian soldiers regarding their chances of returning.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen the, "an armed society is a polite society", assertion for a while, now.

What was the public and/or medical establishment access to the text of the bill before it was passed? Were there opportunities to raise objections prior to its passing?
