On 169 Song Titles with Parentheticals (In Order of Parenthetical Charm)
Questions!
Is there a logistical or grammatical reason why parentheses are used in song titles?
In the case where the non-parenthetical title is a random word and what's in the parentheses is a chorus, is that the record company getting all editorial in order to guarantee that people find the song they're looking for?
Can someone in a band that has used a parenthetical answer why they did so?

On Don't Leave Dan Plesac Hanging!
Dan Plesac's eyes-bugging-out face/awkward not-knowing-exactly-how-or-who-to-high-five motion right around the 44-second mark basically summed up my night at the bar. That is the face of baseball.

On The Mysterious Case Of The Craigslist Writing Gig Scam
@Vetle Engesbak@facebook The ad, unfortunately, has already been flagged and removed. I do have a screenshot I can email to you, though! Also, true or false: This would be the WORST mystery novel of all time.

On The Mysterious Case Of The Craigslist Writing Gig Scam
@AnonymousHoward Update on this: Just looked at the phone bill and all of my calls during and since are accounted for. No mysterious calls using my number, exuberant charges, and the numbers I dialed for the job are all listed as "Toll Free." So I don't think that's the solution.

@AnonymousHoward This could very well be it. The numbers were similar, but not exactly the same. I'll find out more when I look at the phone bill.

VERY SMALL PROBABLY MEANINGLESS UPDATE: I just received a phone call from someone at FIT RX asking if I was still interested in the retreat. Being the easily-frightened man I am, I said "Sorry!" and quickly hung up the phone. So ... that happened.

On Tom Waits With Keith Richards, "Last Leaf" (And Flowers And Roots)
@Dave Bry Yes! The whole "I got to take this mutual friend to the side and half-apologize for what is just about to happen because my friend is hyped up on some substance" is relatable. I've never liked Keith Richards more. Also: Of course Tom Waits would get excited about a toaster oven.
