Stand back and stand by

Something you tell to a group of people whom you support and want to see be protected.

Trump: Who do you want me to condemn?
Interviewer: Right supremacists and proud boys.
Trump: Proud boys? Stand back and stand by but I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. Somebody's got to do something about Antifa and the left.

let's eat grandma

An instance where the lack of a comma completely changes the meaning of a sentence.

Oh man, I forgot to write a comma, and now the meaning of the sentence has completely changed. This is a let's eat grandma moment.

Remain in Light

Talking Heads' most seminal release. Released in 1980, this album draws influence from Nigerian musician Fela Kuti and sees the band members experimenting with African polyrhythms, funk, and electronics. They recorded instrumental tracks as a series of looping grooves, which had never been done before.

Remain in Light was critically acclaimed. Critics praised its sonic experimentation, blending of different genres, and rhythmic innovations. The album peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard 200 and 21 on the UK album charts. The album spawned the single Once in a Lifetime, one of Talking Heads' most famous songs.

Oluchi - What's your favorite Talking Heads album?

Susanna Hoffs

A member of the 80s American pop-rock band The Bangles. She grew up with '60s music and incorporated that '60s sound in The Bangles' music, especially on their 1984 debut album All Over the Place. After the commercial success of The Bangles' second studio album Different Light, the media singled her out as the lead singer even though singing duties on the band's albums were evenly divided among the band's members.

After the release of The Bangles' third studio album Everything, the band split due to friction among the band members caused by Susanna Hoffs being viewed as the lead singer. Susanna went on to release two solo studio albums, When You're a Boy and Susanna Hoffs.

Tim - Who's your favorite member of The Bangles?
La'akea - Susanna Hoffs.
