Music + Kick Ass = Alanis Morissette? Seriously.

Speaking of music and kicking ass, a song that is often on my playlists these days is Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." I hadn't listen to any of her music, or really even considered her existence in many years, but on the drive from Maryland to Ohio I was in a big truck with a stack of CDs, and Jagged Little Pill ended up in the player. Holy shit! That song is pure fury. I played it like 5 times.

A few days later, Bill Simmons wrote this:
What an intriguing twist for the Manning-Brady rivalry! Manning comes through in the big Pats-Colts game, Manning wins the Super Bowl, Manning hosts Saturday Night Live ... meanwhile, the only way Brady's 2007 would have been rockier was if Bridget Moynihan named their new son "Peyton." (Which would have been the single most vindictive move by a female celebrity since Alanis Morissette released "You Oughta Know" in 1995, but that's a whole other column.)
I'm looking forward to that column. Unless he already wrote it, in which case I hope I find it in the archives.

I can't believe uncle joey did something to piss that woman off that much.

that's ironic, because just the other day i heard "one hand in my pocket" or whatever that crap song is called and i said, "instead of playing this crap, they should play 'you oughtta know' because that's the best screaming song ever written and i haven't heard it in a while."

i know, it's coincidental, not ironic, but i couldn't resist the alanis morissette jab.
