2. an urban legend that the dark and atmospheric song (In the Air Tonight) which was such a departure from his usual work that it was actually a confession to murder.

The more common rumor about that song is that he witnessed something bad - a sexual assault, a murder, or someone allowing a preventable death.

The album was written just after his marriage broke, so some also thought it was a response to his witnessing his wife cheating on him.

None of which is true. He was just in kind of a dark place, and wrote some dark music for that album.

I totally get this. There are foods I don't like. In all seriousness, I am just honestly surprised that black olives have the same strong negative reaction that pineapple on pizza does. I never encountered it before (know lots of people who don't like black olives, just didn't realize it was this controversial as a food). I've been googling it and it looks like this a pretty deep topic in some quarters lol

I think there's a slight difference:

For people who don't like black olives on pizza, the approach we see is, 'Ew, I won't have them on pizza."

For people who don't like pineapple on pizza, the approach we see is, "Ew, you shouldn't have them on pizza."

It's a hit, flop, hittie to the hittie, a hit, no a flop and it won't stop.

You haven't heard Rapper's Delight until you've heard it in the original Swedish.

I recently saw a Youtube video where "In the Air Tonight" was referred to as "a drum fill wearing a song as a hat."

So I'm going to be early on this ...

D&D 2 .... is a flop.

No, wait, it's a hit!

No, wait ... it's a flit! Or a hop.

I mean it might not make what it needs to in the initial theater run, but using some numbers I just made up and guessing what the box office might be at some random drive-in theater it shows at for it's 20th anniversary celebration I'm confident we can say it was a hit especially if that theater owner buys a Powerball ticket and wins the $1 billion jackpot with a dollar that some guy forgot on the counter of the concession booth. That counts as movie revenue, right?!
