We've Known Each Other For So Long

In "What year is this?" news, Rick Astley is enjoying something of a comeback.  Better known in recent years for rickrolling (a bait and switch involving a website hyperlink secretly swapped out with Astley’s so-cheesy-that-it’s-awesome music video for 1987’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”), Melania Trump plagiarized quoted his lyrics in her convention speech, and now he's releasing a new album, his first in eleven years, and he's in NYC this week to promote it.  I'm pleased to say the magnificent pompadour is still in place.


Fun fact: to this day my brother and I still refer to Never Gonna Give You Up as "the gay disco song", (before either of us knew we were gay or stepped foot in a disco) and he was the first person I told about this photo.
