Songbook Xtended: Found a Job



Talking Heads - Found a Job (1978) [Original Post]

I found myself on a bit of a Talking Heads kick, watching Stop Making Sense multiple times, as well as Trues Stories. Found a Job isn't a Talking Heads song I think of often, but its inclusion in Stop Making Sense clearly brought it to mind. I enjoy the unexpected inflection, ups & downs of the song. The lyric "They've enlisted all their family" is especially nice.

Infinite Wars: Spider-man vs Green Goblin

SPIDER-MAN versus GREEN GOBLIN
He Who Laughs Last...! (Marvel comics)
Where:
Amazing Spider-man #176 When: January 1978
Why: Len Wein How: Ross Andru

The story so far...
Aunt May is in the hospital after a heated exchange with a police officer during a rights for the elderly march, but Spidey's got more problems than just the wacky adventures of the terminally hospitalized Golden Oldie!

Psychologist supreme, Dr. Hamilton, has been kidnapped with signs of a struggle, and all signs point to a patient who's gone off the deep end -- but isn't Dr. Hamilton treating the amnesia stricken Green Goblin, Harry Osborn?

That's right true believers! The Green Goblin is back in action, and his first stop is his apartment, where he rooms with one Flash Thompson. Uh oh, looks like Flash is about to step in it real good, unless a certain spectacular individual can spider his way over there!
