Little-known facts about “Jack and Diane,” the protagonists of THE WORST SONG EVER WRITTEN:

People I trust and respect are all up my ass to listen to “Serial,” so you can make your case at the current time.

My wife and I, both African Americans, constitute one of those Type A couples with Ivy League undergraduate and graduate degrees who, for many years, believed that if we worked hard and maintained great jobs, we could insulate our children from the blatant manifestations of bigotry that we experienced as children in the 1960s and ’70s.
