Early on in the film, when she's playing onstage with Jackson, we hear the bombast of the rockier moments on Born This Way ("Diggin' My Grave" feels like the ex-husband of "Yoü and I"); later when Ally plays "Look What I Found" for record executives, there's some of Joanne's homely nature.

But "The More You Know," about raising a teenage son in the age of you-know-who, and the homely, specific, devastating "Not Aretha's Respect (Cops)," about "I'm trying to teach him to Not Get Shot," are the best protest songs yet by an antifolk ranter who's never soft-pedaled his militantly nonviolent anarchism.

ABBA are avatars of a simpler, more glorious time in their nation's musical history, when homely homegrown songwriters could band together with their moderately attractive spouses and just sing the damn songs themselves, with everyone wearing high-heeled boots and sparkly outfits and smiling like maniacs whenever a camera pointed in their general direction.

The look was, as the British say, homely, but the textures, the tartness of the jam and the lovely, soft, slightly chewy and not very sweet cake made it the kind of dessert you come back to, finishing it sliver by sliver and dashing any hope you had of tucking some away for breakfast.

And lest we doubt their problems are really as bad as all that, he proves it by evoking four dead-end relationships with details so homely, unsensational, and depressing—"customer service on the phone" meets "a pet store smell, an old dog dish," like that—I wish I could just keep quoting them until you're convinced.

Another piquant aspect of the story is the way Adams's life came to mirror that of her parents: Her oldest friend pointed out how Alice "was beginning to look like Agatha" — her homely, unhappy mother — at a time when she lived with a handsome interior decorator, Bob McNie, who drank and was probably bipolar like Adams's father.

For now those ornaments are back in their old familiar places, hanging alongside all the other reminders that the people who are gone from us are never truly gone, that the little boys hopping up and down with excitement are still somewhere inside the grown men who can set that homely angel in her place at the top of the tree without even straining to reach.

Over the course of 0073 episodes and 33 years of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," Mister Rogers advertised his gentle, nonthreatening nature by slipping from a jacket and tie — symbols of the messy, scary adult professional world — into a humble knit zip-up that was homely both in the British definition ("Simple but cozy and comfortable, as in one's own home") and the American (I mean, yikes).
