Outside the Lines With Rap Genius - Bill Adler's Comments lyrics

Here are Bill Adler's comments on the Christmas Outside the Lines interview. You can listen along by pressing play above 2:45: "We were not swamped with Christmas. So I never felt this tremendous, debilitating envy some Yids feel -- adrift at Christmastime." 4:56: "This year's Christmas Jollies feature Paul Shaffer with some Christmas greetings. And that occurs because I've met him in recent years and given him my Christmas Jollies over the years and he's expressed some affection for them." 6:57: "Kurtis Blow's first hit, which came out late 1979, ten minutes before Christmas -- that was his first single, and it was a big hit." 12:52: "Steve Tyler had cut his vocals already, and he said to Run and D, 'Y'all better go back home and learn it.'" 13:31: [On the video for "Christmas in Hollis"] "I wasn't [there at the video shoot.] Just as well. Not a great video. I think it was made by Michael Holman, who I love. But it's pretty cheesy." 17:14: "Fifteen years ago, the Quad City All Stars put out a Christmas record." 17:35: "It's by a guy who calls himself 'Big Tyme,' and it's called 'Christmas Blues.'" 19:40: "There's a local record store called Janie's Record Shop" 20:37: "She's the manager for Joe King Carrasco." 21:49: "There's a guy named Mitchell Kezin, who is a filmmaker, and he undertook to make a movie about his obsession with Christmas music." 22:16: "...he finds a copy of Nat King Cole's record "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot." 26:22: "Dave McKenna, who is a jazz pianist out of Boston, did a solo piano medley of a couple of Christmas carols." 26:45: "On this year's Christmas Jollies, there's a track by a woman named Keri Noble." 27:19: "She beats the piss up out of -- what's the girl's name, Tracey Thorn?"
