On Saving Summer's Trashiest Cocktail: Make Way For The $21 Long Island Ice Tea
Ben, what you made is not a Long Island Iced Tea. That's called a Trashcan. (Some of everything in mom and dad's liquor cabinet so they won't notice a lot of any one thing missing.)
Also, rufinol is an interesting neologism. The drug is called Rohypnol, and I suppose somewhere along the way someone, perhaps under the influence of a Trashcan, transposed some letters and came up with the 'ph' sound in "roofie."

On Ditz, Lightweight, Mooncalf, Naïf: The Second-Class Status Of Stevie Nicks
This also makes me think about Ann Wilson. I guess she played flute, but she isn't really considered a musician and gets plenty of respect. Even though she also wrote plenty of Jethro Zeppelin mystical sprite lyrics.

@Amy Mulvihill@twitter You did choose the Bart Bull quote, though.
When I was young, I just assumed "Stevie" was the man and "Lindsay" was the woman.

@Amy Mulvihill@twitter If you compared her treatment to that of, say, Robert Plant, who also stood around shaking a tambourine for large portions of shows, I think it would better make the point.
By the way, I am a fan of both of the women of Fleetwood Mac. (All three, actually, including Bekka Bramlett.) But the pre-Buckingham/Nicks era was the best.

@jolie That's her nickname. I don't call Ringo Starr "Richard."

I don't get it. It's a feminist issue that Chrissie McVie gets respect and Stevie Nicks doesn't?
