Do Call It A Comeback, Episode 1: The First 15

<p>What is the most representative comeback song in pop history? Our Do Call It A Comeback season will find out...and we <em>have</em> been here for years, thinking about the philosophical definition of a comeback, great creative leaps forward, when B-plus vocals lead to A-plus artistry, the middle-school melodrama of '70s supergroups, savvy collaborations, and how MTV brought the '60s into the Reagan era. Put up a Successories poster and slap it out with a new MASTAS season!</p> <p>Our intro is an LL Byrne J mash-up, and our outro is Luscious Jackson.
