*waits for someone to make a Stan joke*
“It makes no sense. Stan hasn’t changed since high school and suddenly he’s uncool.”
There we go. I didn’t wanna be the one to make it, but knowing these comment threads, I knew it was coming.
I prefer him to this.
Speak of the devil, I think we’ve found an early incarnation:

Consarn it, I’ve been found out.
Yes, I’ve been the troll all along. I just wanted to see how long this lasts. I am sorry.
Juh? I’ve posted many times and always under this name.
I’m not saying you were, I am. I’ve just been blaming random people for nearly a year now. Now I see that I’m not always right, and others’ opinions matter, and that my comments where I swear and lash out at various people are annoying.
I apologize.
Thanks. Keep it covered for me. Also, try to not use farfetched sentences, remember – English isn’t my mother tongue.
English isn’t your native language? Coulda fooled me, you’re pretty good at it.
Для меня родной – русский. Я и удивился, что у Вас фамилия “Пастернак”.
Why’re you surprised?
Because Pasternak was one of my favorite childhood poets. I greatly appreciate those who remember their roots, that’s all I guess.
I’m 95% sure I was actually related to Boris Pasternak, actually.
Apparently he’s in my family tree somehow.
Well, according to the Russian WP Boris’ dad left USSR during its first years and died in England shortly after WWII has ended. It says both his daughters emigrated to Israel in 1946.
I liked this episode a lot, but one thing I was never able to understand was why Homer wearing a Rastafarian hat (and thereby associating himself with Reggae music, according to Lisa) was considered offensive to the other attendees of Hullapalooza. Can anyone explain? Thanks.
They call him a “narc”, or a police spy – that’s why they throw him out.
This episode always annoyed me – Lisa is 8 years old and likes jazz music, why would she want to go to Hullabalooza? It feels like an early attempt by the writers to make Bart and Lisa act out “teenage” story lines.
I always assumed it was because Homer was a white guy trying to act cool wearing a Rastafarian hat, which led to the concert-goers suspecting he was a police narc trying (but failing) to blend in.
“Homerpalooza”, like many Season 7 episodes, set a precedent for later episodes. This is the first episode where Homer suffers from cartoon invulnerability, while at the same time he attempts to be “cool” and a succesful, popular person. With guest stars crammed in. The key difference between “Homerpalooza” and later Homer-centric episodes, though, and the reason why this is still a real Simpsons episode without Zombie issues, is that here: a) Homer finds out he’s good at something by accident, and the only thing he does is do basically nothing (he just stands still while a cannon is fired), similar to how Bart became famous with his “I didn’t do it”, and b) there’s no drama involved. But I think the idea behind this episode wouldn’t have been developed just a mere year before, and if they did, they would have put (a little) more care.
@ Dan: Lisa being a fan of jazz has always annoyed me. It even added to the absolute lame-ness of her character. Why would an 8-year old be a fan of jazz anyway? I feel her smart 8-year old girl character would be a fan of classical music. But I guess they needed an excuse to have her play her fart horn.
@ Joe H: Thanks. That would indeed seem more likely.
The jazz thing was more of a vestige of the late-80s in which “Moaning Lisa” was first written. Though I agree that general golden age Lisa would have been more attracted to long-hair music.
She has listened to non jazz stuff in earlier episodes too. In Sideshow Bob Roberts when she was driving the car she was listening to the St. Elmo’s Fire theme.
This is the episode where they show us that every shit can pass for a decent rock band nowadays. Rock music died in 1990, anything that came afterwards is in the post-rock era. You want something new? Shove a guitar up your asshole and play it with your sphincter. That should do it.
I tried that. I just got an infection. It was still better than anything One Direction has done.
Rarely though, some decency does emerge. Like Arctic Monkeys. Nowhere near Pink Floyd, but that’s not the point.
Don’t think I’ve heard of them. Will Google.
pink floyd? more like………………STINK floyd!! AHAHAHA!! shut up, old timer! we don’t need ya anymore!!!!
This is no place to talk about what you did to your mom last night.
Ahahah
Is this how you talk to your boss?
hey old man…………………….cram it!!!!!
hey sir, ahaha, are these your dentures that you dropped? *hands you a pair of chattering teeth that scares you and gives you a heart attack and causes you to die as i laugh and laugh at the death of another grouchy, full-of-himself, old fart*
