   Notes for VABF06 (Gal of Constant Sorrow   
   21 Feb 16 17:49:50

   Eh. OK premise with the homeless lady and her folk music, but somewhat spoiled   
   by bad pacing and writing (somewhat like Lisa with an S, which reran   
   tonight!). Homer's subplot is also OK but a little broad. Episode still super   
   short. I liked the wetnap    
   joke though. And at least the sign at the start of the credits properly   
   punctuates 'n'.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the couch gag is football-themed even though the season ended 2 weeks ago   
   (maybe this was expected to run before then)?   
   ...Lisa seems to file her records sideways?   
   ...Lisa also pronounces vestigial more like "vestigal"?   
   ...Lisa's computer background (or something) features Bleeding Gums Murphy,   
   appropriately for the episode, but she never calls attention to it (this is   
   nice)?   
   ...there are no music credits for the various original(?) songs?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   4F18: Mr. Sparkle box in clouds in opening   
   9F21: Mr. Largo has a poster encouraging students feeling "flat" to "be sharp"   
   (though that's not really a useful term, since B# is just C)   
      
   Goofs or whatever   
   The waveform of Hettie's music on a computer never matches what's playing;   
   this usually happens even these days and I don't know why it's so hard to just   
   get right.   
   The gray walls of the basement probably shouldn't have a studs-and-empty-space   
   passageway behind them.   
   Bart's "I was right" sign in the radio studio is addressed to... whom? Lisa's   
   right there and can't see it. Is it to us?   
      
   Various meta or whatever   
   Hettie is seen in one of Lisa's many red dresses.   
   Lisa plays sax at the concert, including her own solo #11 (on the SNPP list).   
   Hettie asks Lisa what time they "do couch gags" (11 am).   
   A handful of things are mentioned in the credits song, including the corncob   
   curtains, sailboat picture, Marge's tall hair, and the fact that the baby   
   doesn't talk and no one wonders why (even though she is 1).
