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.

who writes these thingsat 3-12-2008

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."

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 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.

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.
