Love Me Tinder: A Tale of Burnin' Love

I guarantee you that the pair of doofuses in this week’s story have an encyclopedic knowledge of classic rock, and obviously there’s nothing wrong with that. Classic rock is both classic and it rocks. It’s also a genre with lots of imagery about heat and flames. Hot Blooded, Burnin’ for You, Hot for Teacher—there’s no shortage. The connection between heat and passion goes back forever. Very rarely, though, that connection transforms from metaphor to actual reality, and when someone says Come on Baby, Light My Fire, they mean get the matches out and light the damn fire.
