Hollywood Fever

Question: Who is this quote describing?:

"He doesn't want to be our congressman anymore. It's clear he's left the building. The guy's got Hollywood fever, and that would be fine if he was using his national stature to actually get things done."

That is a quote from Cleveland City Councilman Joe Cimperman, describing Dennis Kuchinich who is having some trouble holding on to his seat in Congress. Cimperman is running against everyone's favorite peacenik in the Democratic primary...and he is actually doing pretty well.

Bad Songs By Good People #1: The Flaming Lips

Sometimes good and great groups put out not so good songs...but who am I to judge...my total album output = zero...classic and great songs = zero...

After 11 Flaming Lips albums there are bound to be a few stinkers right? This is from the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack and the title alone raises some eyebrows...Could it possibly be as good as "Thank You Jack White (For the Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me)?
