I was wondering about the "truly sordid" story on Tommy the Cork. I think it is probably this, about his trying to lobby the Supreme Court in favor of the El Paso Gas Co. monopoly: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ar

Title is misleading: "A lot of the choices here end up being considerations on one song as opposed to whole albums, and so I prefer to see it as less of a definitive favourite albums list, and more of a piece where the records are sele

I agree, there will be many other factors, like fine motor reaction time, and the most important is probably being able to outguess one's opponent. But a small gender-specific edge could well be sufficient to make the top ranks homogen

That is how I used the event too (I went eleven years, non-consecutively), but I think the Man also serves as a memento mori, with the event becoming a celebration of temporariness. That in turn helps drive the gleeful amateurism, experimen
