There is absolutely no connection between me, Emo Philips, and "emo" music!
True, before the musical genre we now know as "emo" was christened, I had -- after years of effort and months of luck -- shot the name "Emo" (with -- between 1984 and 1987 -- six appearances on Late Night with David Letterman, a half-hour Cinemax Comedy Experiment, an hour-long HBO special, and two comedy albums) irremovably into the zeitgeist; my look is eerily, prophetically "emo" in terms of hair, clothing, and physique (beatings at the hands of others not depicted)... but no, other than that... there is absolutely no connection!
and true, on my first comedy LP, E=MO 2 (Epic Records, 1985)

..And there are only a few states that end with the letter "A"?
Emo = The new original Emo musician!
Emo = The new original!
Now I understand. I actually had believed that these "emo kids" were simply your illegitimate children, and thus I refrained from chastising them or accosting them.
Having been educated upon this point, I shall make proper effort to direct these hooligans toward more dignified pastimes (such as comedy, as well you know).
I thank you, and shall hope that your germs and calories are in correct balance.

Now we've cleared up the "emo" music bit, are you the guy behind "emoticons"? Fess up, Emo!
When I first heard of the "emo" movement, my first thought was that someone was trying to rip you off - but there is no way that some makeup wearing kid will ever fool anyone into thinking they are you. Long live the original - Emo Philips!
Hey Emo did you just write this cause i sent you a message about it?
