    Huh? Is there a missing paragraph that explains what the heck this article is about?

    I believe it's a TV show called Smash? But I used teh googles, so I might be wrong; I've never seen the show.

    Relax. Nothing wrong with a bit of mystery in life. ;)

    Usually when I'm confused by a Popehat post and it feels like I walked into Act III of a play, it's authored by Patrick, and I just assume that it's part of the show.

    Shoot. I guessed it was Blue Oyster Cult's Agents of Fortune album cover art from 1976.
