Jonah: One of my favorite Tom Petty songs–and I’ve been a pretty big Tom Petty fan over the years–is called “Spike.” Here’s the opening verse:

Oh, we got another one, just like the other ones
Another bad ass, another trouble-maker
I’m scared, ain’t you boys scared?
I wonder if he’s gonna show us what bad is?
Boys, we got a man with a dog collar on
You think we oughta throw ol’ Spike a bone?

It may not have been written about Spike Lee, but isn’t it fun to pretend?
