It won't mean much to most of you, but Friday's news that Disney & Sony have reached a new deal over the rights to Spider-Man was one of the few pieces of good news I've had lately. Thought I'd celebrate it with the image above.

"If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt

Am I guilty of every male-inflicted hurt?

With the fever of purple prose."

Written 35 years ago, yet more timely a lyric you won't hear this year.
