Kenneth Burns2, on sleep apnea:

Notes:
  1. Post flagged before we had a chance to be spammed submit. Google cuts off there. There were also mentions of affluence, discretion.
  2. We hear a profusion of proper nouns does wonders for page rank, but mostly, we were reaching for a quote--and wouldn't want to frame a post around a rental unit we couldn't afford. [double-entendre unintended--ed.] In any event, you will probably see his name again if we get the urge to drop some E-40.

John Lennon and Sadat X read newspapers

Kenneth Burns on Music & Lyrics:
I was surprised at the seriousness with which the film treats songwriting, a craft I know a little something about. I especially know what it is like to be blocked, as the Grant character is. Barrymore has a helpful insight when she says a good way to find inspiration is simply to walk around, to look and listen. John Lennon read newspapers for ideas, as I recall. In fact, he wrote a song referencing that very method.

S.J. Barlament on brand identity issues:
"Though I've gotta point this out: It's Post--not The Post. Just sayin'. (But most people call it 'The Post' anyway. Guess that's just the way it goes.)"
Lazy mining of OHHLA confirmed that rappers generally prefer to rhyme "Post" with "Ghost" and "Toast." Perhaps we will one day make like GZA and put together a print media rap mega-mix.
