Oh come on Brat is fantastic.
To be clear I'm totally serious.
I play it A LOT.

1. Lilly Allen's songs weren't meaningless and neither are Charli XCX's.
2. There's something wrong with meaningless pop songs anyway?
3. Suddenly you can't do anything that has anything in common with something that was done before?

I was missing the evaluation of the actual chicken too.
But the slam on Manhattan made the piece worth it to me.

To me this sounds more like a Reason To Be Cheerful.

If it is, you can totally come over here and remember things for me.

You may feel like you can't go on, but now that Duke's passed, the Four Tops don't go on.

You can reach out all you want, they won't be there.

Right. (Not that I'm Matt.)

This might have been the Stick To Your Ribs period?

That's how I remember it!

YOU should write a book about this.

It would make more sense for Brooklyn, whose name derives from the Dutch phrase for "broken land", to have a definite article.
-
Maybe the area was originally called "the Bronx estate" or "the Bronx lands" and the final nouns eventually were dropped, but the article remained.
-
I was going to post that it was more of an editing error than a fact error.
And remember, the topic wasn't why the borough is called the "Bronx", but why it's called "the" Bronx, when no other borough gets a definite (or indeed any) article.
I think Frazier was trying to use this, rather artificially, as a hook for describing some of the major differences between the Bronx and the other boroughs. Because none of the facts he raised could account for the article.
I don't think it's knowable why the Bronx gets a definite article. ("Bronx County" of course receives no article.)

Oh! It's part of an upcoming book.
That'll be something.

Thanks!!!! I somehow missed that!

Did you know this? I didn't know this.

To be sure, the CD was placed vertically.
But that's the way I had initially put it there.

Artie, on the other hand . . . [joke]

It's not so much that I thought Happy Traum was already dead as that I forgot he was ever alive.

This happens all the time.
I wanted to play a CD last week. I knew just where I'd put it. It wasn't there.
I looked again the next day. Not where I put it. Not anywhere else I could see, either.
I looked again, a day or two later. Not there.
I'm getting upset. Looked again. Not there.
Yesterday, I looked again, right where I knew I'd put it. There it was, as if it had never left.
How does this happen?
