And conversely, it seems a little bit like she's expecting you to worship history.

Pretty insulting to the religious folks that they can excuse horrors like this. Even more insulting that they don't see it as insults.

The first time I asked whatever happened to Billy Idol was in 1982. I was wondering if he was working in a gas station or something, and then, within a week or two, he released his first solo album, and my boyfriend forever blamed me for it. I think he liked the idea of Billy Idol working at a gas station.

Re: Miscellany
No.
I did the Christmas album, though, and whatever fresh hell he'll come up with as a result of me talking about him now.
I will say that he's aged surprisingly well. Pretty boys usually start looking heinous by 40.

Re: Miscellany
How the hell do they stay on it so well? Do the drone cameras have motion-tracking or something?

I just assumed eyeballs and skates.
Although yes there are cameras that will track stickers or fobs.

Re: Miscellany
I visited Sir Isaac Newton's birthplace and family home last year. I only just noticed in the photos that the end plates of the house reinforcing rods are in the shape of the  logo.
The photo below is from Wikipedia.

Re: Miscellany
Isaac Newton and the apple that hit him were characters in Marcel Gotlib's Rubrique-a-brac comics
