I feel sorry for you if you haven't had this Afghan Whigs record in your life...mostly because these guys are from my hometown. But I never would have gotten through an intense breakup without Tom Curley and Greg Dulli:

Afghan Whigs

Gentlemen (1993)

When We Two Parted

Baby, I see you've made yourself all sick again

Didn't I do a good job of pretending?

You're saying that the victim doesn't want it to end

Good. I get to dress up and play the assassin again

It's my favorite

It's got personality

I should have seen this shit coming down the hall

Every night I spent in that bed with you facing the wall

If I could have only once heard you scream

To feel you were alive

Instead of watching you abandoning yourself

Baby you can open your eyes now

And please allow me to present you with a clue

If I inflict the pain

Then baby only I can comfort you

Out of the night we come

And into the night we go

If it starts to hurt you

Then you have to say so

what a great album cover. remember back when greg dulli was hot? *swoon*

pharmacies can choose not to stock the ECP, because this provides legal defense for pharmacists, who feel threatened by the conscience clause (some of them are morally opposed to the morning after pill). This way, they can't deny patients available drugs. So most state govs require pharmacies to refer people elsewhere.

i think this is stupid, since the FDA has already declared it safe, and people have the right to control their own bodies. it's not even an abortifacient, since it prevents fertilization, not implantation. as for those pharmacists, they are violating their professional autonomy; they chose the job, they should fulfill their duty.

Actually, Plan B is already available in NYC. I bought "one" two weeks ago. Perhaps the chain pharmacies are slower to stock it, but it was readily available for purchase from my local neighborhood pharmacy (Northside Pharmacy, North 7th and Bedford) for $30.

Oh Jose, it's just Kapil hating women again!

What a strange story! It seems almost as if the author is angry at women who use birth control. And how strange that he equates planning when one has children to "not letting a pesky pregnancy get in the way of all that revelling." Taking steps to avoid an unwanted pregnancy is responsible behavior; why is he characterizing it so bizarrely? Odd story.

fuckin sweet!

plan b. what a name.

Wow, I'm surprised Kapil didn't say something like "now slutty women in NYC will be happy" which is basically the gist of his other articles about HPV and women's reproductive health.

Um...it is only available for those over 18, (even though it is over the counter like asprin. I think that is stupid, it means women who don't have or lost their ID can't get it, and I think the morning after pill needs to be available to the under 18 over the counter because they are more likely to get pregnant than the over 18, and they are a lot less likely than adults to go to the doctor to get contraception presciptions.

Plan B DOES NOT CONTAIN estrogen and it is FINE for women over 35 and for women who smoke. The comment is true for other combined hormones with estrogen, but NOT Plan B. Plan B CONTAINS no estrogren. Please do change the post because it is inaccurate and we don't want to discourage anyone from using it who needs it.

#14 - I agree, for the non-hipster who are clueless about indie music (like me), I agree it was bad taste. Too many way to misinterpret the pic. But I am sure the Afghan Whigs is a great band.

I am all for the Plan B pill, by the way.

of course it makes sense. read it again. out loud if you have to. besides, your posting name is a personal insult, so don't get so high and mighty.

yuck. bad pic for this story.

s.y.i, sorry to hear that you have such little confidence in your future parenting skills. maybe it's better if you don't breed?

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Not much of a shock there. Also not shocked you resorted to personal insults as that's usually the last resort of a guy with nothing intelligent to say.

s.y.i, sorry to hear that you have such little confidence in your future parenting skills. maybe it's better if you don't breed?

the picture is the cover for the afghan whigs album 'gentleman'. i love this cover. they are two kids posing in an "adult" situation.

Dude: it is a young girl. And a young boy This is the cover art for The Afghan Whigs' grossly underrated record "Gentleman" - one of my fave albums of all time.

Just listen to "When We Two Parted" and ponder the (genius) photos in the liner notes.

But, Gothamist: weird to drop that in for this bit. I thought maybe it would be a gossip piece about Greg Dulli's sexual exploits. (Sigh.)

Can someone explain how the Pill is prescription and the Morning After Pill isn't? It's the same freakin' chemicals! This is a $10 billion legal train wreck waiting to happen. People never read instructions.

Morning after pill, dems overtaking congress, Rumsfeld resigning...suddenly the clouds are parting and angels sing upon us again after a dark, dark period.

Actually iggy, all I have to do is get on the subway with all the single moms that don't know how to discipline a child, won't instill any respect for education in that child, and whose child will probably populate the prison system some day (but not before spawning another generation of single parent kids).
