Ahoy hoy! Round Springfield is back with a very special father-daughter episode featuring the incredible Jeff Martin and Sam Martin (@HiMyNameSam)!

@adykhan93 No, I always felt an affinity for the character, since his name was taken from one of my Little League coaches in Houston. You'll recall in "I Married Marge," the couple before Marge and Homer at the casino wedding chapel was Cletus and Aline (one of my aunts).
https://t.co/cuFZvl9jZc I did a segment on Beatles biopics - from "Birth of the Beatles" through "Nowhere Boy" - for this weekend's big Zoom event. Click on the link if you're interested.
@Joshstrangehill@matzemachtfaxen Near as I remember, we came up with it in the room, and what sold it was the follow-up line about how it's not really all that clever. Don't think the vague similarity to "Beatles" and fact that there's no B-sharp key on a piano had anything to do with it. Important stuff!
@WonderedAlways Doesn't stand for anything. Sometimes streets are just letters of the alphabet, like on New York's lower east side. Thought it was funny that everybody was taking pictures of an unremarkable intersection, though come to think of it not much is happening at Hollywood and Vine.
@WonderedAlways They asked me! I saw Jim Brooks at the Hollywood Bowl "Music from The Simpsons" show, and soon afterwards he suggested to Al Jean that they have me back to write a musical episode.
