OK so this is the first time I hear "Flagpole Sitta." So this is how "A Horse with No Name" was translated for the Fastball era.

no idea how you can go the last 15 years without hearing that song, or what that comparison means

Didn't listen to modern rock radio in '99 or watch the shows in which the song appeared, and the song has an impressive lift from that America song.

I think this comes down to intent; if you're just talking to someone, it's nothing, but if you have an ulterior motive, that would count as hitting on

Like am I hitting on this person or just talking to them?

in jurisprudence that concept is termed men's rea

I think there was a strip club in Lansing that was called Men's Rea for a moment

Yup, here it is

Gap Band "You dropped the bomb on me"

I was Djing in Berlin at a small party and played this song and it cleared the dancefloor. I asked the other guy I was DJing with what the deal was, I mean, come on, this song kicks so much ass it's ridiculous. He said that "we do no know this song in Germany; the Gap Band music did not come here". I mean, huh? I was shocked. They danced to Justin Timberlake, they danced to Le Tigre, they danced to The Ramones. But not this song . . . weird.

Grantland is a boutique media outlet. It's artisanal. Like Wing Street to ESPN's Pizza Hut

I wonder if Jarrett winces and writhes around when he's typing.

Complex's take on it seems reasonable:

As a stand-alone work of art, the chair becomes a satire on art history. As a piece of furniture, it means something entirely different—something much more offensive.
It's difficult to say whether she's using it as furniture or whether it was just a terribly misguided prop in a photo shoot.

Aside from this incident, she's more adept as an art-world player than a lot of people would expect her to be, i think.
