Prince was rumored to have lurked in the shadows at some of the Replacements' shows at First Avenue, but it was in the bathroom of a club in St. Paul where Westerberg finally ran into him. "Oh, hey," said Westerberg, seeing the dolled-up singer standing next to him at the urinal. "What's up, man?" Prince turned and responded in cryptic fashion: "Life."

A meeting between Prince and a Replacement finally happened ... at some urinals in St. Paul. From Bob Mehr's book about the band, "Trouble Boys" (3/3)

Arguably the greatest number 1 about a Bollywood singer, based on a De La Soul song which was based on a Bob Dorough song which was commissioned by a NYC ad exec, and remixed by a guy from Reigate who was raised in a religion started by a dentist who claimed to channel angels through his typewriter

A sample of some of the victim blaming I’ve heard this weekend:

Why was she drinking?
Why did she send nudes?
Why was she flirting?
The timing is suspicious!
Why did she see him again?
Why didn’t she report it to the police?

If you are wondering why people don't come forward, I recommend reading literally anything by Dorothy Allison (who did). She makes it plain that the reason people side with the accused and not the accuser is that it's easier. You don't have to upend your whole world view. You don't have to deal
