I changed the site’s tag line to “Starting tomorrow, we’re going to let Shirley Jackson decide whom the Moderation Filter will target.”

Is this song still well-known enough to transcend the Geezer tag?

(And let’s not even discuss how disconcerting it is that anything from 1984 can qualify for the Geezer tag)
