not sure about the pedophile subtext, although that IS a fascinating way of looking at it!
and yeah, only time i have called someone "baby" was as a kinda goof -- and "babe" just gets me thinking of that awful Styx song (BARF)

Lizzie, we had tickets to 2003 ALCS games at Yankee stadium and were in Monument Park before the game.

Thank you for speaking on this, @EFD. I think it is important that we confront these issues. It IS fascinating that I would not even have thought about it before hearing the lyrics to Ladytron's "Seventeen." I wonder if you may have subconsciously done that to trigger this conversation even?! Haha, I do have an intense imagination. Anyway, thank you for speaking on it. Dave the Spazz made an incredible speech on BLM, that was quite moving. I think it's this type of open discussion that makes WFMU a true part of the community...

@Handy I watched a Yankees-Mets exhibition game over the weekend and only lasted a couple of innings. We'll see how it goes when I'm watching the Red Sox and the games count (whatever that ends up meaning this year)

Yeah, efd: same feelings. (Though, you know, "Go, Yankees!" Sigh.)

And the NFL still thinks it can pull off a season.

Sigh. I love sports. I really hate sports leagues.
