"Lets, uh. Let's pick this up a bit, huh?"
And if that something, once the music started playing, happened to be some Billy Joel...
"Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio..."
Well, he hadn't started the fire yet, okay?
"Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe..."
And hey, after Metallica, pretty much anything would be more poppy, right?
