Influence

Author Ned Vizzini's novel Be More Chill, about a guy who takes a pill called a squip that makes him cooler, was partly inspired by "AM/FM Shoes", a song from Tanning Salon/Biblical Proportions. He writes that "'AM/FM Shoes' is about a guy who feels like a loser, except he has special shoes that play the radio, and when he puts them on, he becomes the coolest guy around."[1]

gollark: The forums have been marginally more dramatic than usual in the past few days.
gollark: Eventually lineage builders will probably end up trying to get people to have aeons and bolts continually on cooldown.
