“Ahh, the morning horoscope . . . Today will be a day like every other day. . . . Oh, it just gets worse and worse!” – Homer Simpson Things are calming down, I thought. I’ll have time to blog, I figured. The post about what Disney is going to do with the show won’t sprawl on me to the point that I don’t even know how many chunks to break it into, I told myself.

Behind Us Forever: Covercraft
“Yes, son, you can have an electric guitar just like your old man.” – Homer Simpson “Dad, I’m asking if I can get a job.” – Bart Simpson “Gig, son, when you’re a musician a job is called a gig.” – Homer Simpson In the past, I have described watching Zombie Simpsons episodes as akin to listening to a 5-year-old tell a story. It’s just an endless series of “and then this happened”. In “Covercraft”, which had no B-plot, Moe trashes the music store, and then Homer bought a bass guitar, and then there was a montage, and then Homer…
