Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

Just saw an episode where Homer goes to rock n roll fantasy camp and now I am very, very sad. By all rights, everyone involved should have committed seppuku.
I hate that one.

Not according to the crickets. From the Wikipedia entry:
In 2003, Annie Alleman of The Herald News named the episode her all-time favorite Simpsons episode.[3] The same year, writers of Entertainment Weekly listed it as the twenty-second best Simpsons episode of all time. They elaborated that "You've gotta admire a show that lands the greatest names in rock and then gives them as much respect as a brown M&M. [...] While rockers have always shone in 'Simpsons' solos, the Stones so giddily mock their hall-of-fame status it makes "Strummer" the series' Woodstock: a classic-rock show even Disco Stu could get behind."[4] Robert Canning of IGN in a Flashback Review gave the episode an 8.6 saying it was "Great" and also stated " In a season that I generally see as ho-hum ("Pray Anything" is the only other episode I rate highly), "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation" simply rocks".[5] In 2007, Simon Crerar of The Times listed Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Elvis Costello and Lenny Kravitz's performances among the thirty-three funniest cameos in the history of the show.[6] In 2011, Kravitz revealed that his greatest achievement was the appearance on The Simpsons in the eyes of his young relatives. He explained that "To my nieces and nephews appearing on 'The Simpsons' was when I actually made it. All the other stuff doesn't count."[7] New York magazine named the episode one of the top ten later Simpsons episodes.

The only laugh in that one that I remember is when Homer swipes Costello’s glasses and the latter shrieks “MY IMAGE!”

It's got to be a good episode, Mick Jagger and Lenny Kravitz are in it seems to be the point of view.

I enjoyed EC's bit in that ep:
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Whatever, Medulla and Mah were quote vomiting each other and I missed Wolt’s tiny comment.
