(To quote the lyrics of "Terrible Lie," that clerihew owes us a great big apology).
So I think that if a really great apology were to come from a newspaper, if they were to say that we wish we had spent more time furthering his story rather than breaking him down as a journalist, maybe that would be a good thing to do.
When Lauryn Hill and her band had to cancel a performance in Lagos, Nigeria due to travel constraints, she made a pretty great apology.
The Rentals pretty much defined the "nerd rock era" (that storied epoch between the Mallrats soundtrack and the 9 / 11 soundtrack), and they make a great apology act to how heinous of a human Rivers Cuomo is.
Give me the powerless Christ of the cross, give me the poetry of God's most human moment, of God's great apology, and give me, in Easter, hope that this redeemable God repents, believes, lives so that we might.
And even greater apologies to those I have left in.
"For that, on behalf of myself and the government, I, as the president of the Republic of Indonesia, offer my greatest apologies to the people of Aceh".
It was to Rupa and Piu that I owed the greater apology, but at the same time I knew that what was done was done, that no matter what I said now I would never be able to make it right.
With all due apologies to great American rivalries, Brazil-Argentina just might be the great sporting competition of the Western Hemisphere, given the five World Cup titles for Brazil and two for Argentina, and a history of broken legs, racial taunts and even hints of a spiked water bottle during one World Cup encounter.
Thanks for all the great questions, and my apologies for the ones we didn't get to.
