Potent Quotables: Stephen Malkmus Talks Muppets

"'Elmo Delmo' was more of a phonetic thing. I don't really support Elmo. Unfortunately my daughter likes Thomas the Tank."
--Stephen Malkmus

In talking about his curiously-titled new song, the ex-Pavement singer revealed his equally curious politics regarding muppets and tank engines.

"3. WHAT in the hell do a song abd GOD FORBID politics have to do with the guy not liking Elmo and his child liking Thomas the Tank??
You people need new writers with a brain. One has NOTHING to do with the other. There is NOTHING in that quote that has ANYTHING to do with a stupid song or even more stupid , politics. The writer's a moron!"



ELMO DELMO is the song.

And the writer's talking about the politics between favoring Elmo VS Thomas the Tank. It makes perfect sense. Stop being insultive.

ELMO is a role model for a lot of children. Too bad some of you potty mouth writters should learn that there are more words to use than the 4 letter kind. Why do you have such a fixation with the F word. Try and use something positive. or say Marshmello instead of the F word. It makes you look smarter if not every other word you use is nasty. Take a lesson from Elmo and be nice.

The guy is talking about about his child's likes and dislikes and you people write this crap: "In talking about his curiously-titled new song, the ex-Pavement singer revealed his equally curious politics regarding muppets and tank engines."
