Fidel Castro holds a copy of Cuban People Magazine's 2006 "Sexiest Man Alive" cover.

"King of California" - Dave Alvin

That's an amazing tribute, and he's such a beautiful horse.

Just the first five off the top of my head that fit this category... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Also, I second Marquee Moon.

That'll be Exhibit A during the divorce proceedings.

There was good stuff?

I call bullshit. There was no fiddle player in Big Black.

I say Gene Shalit and Jackie Stewart.

There's going to be a rumble between the OSC Gang and the Trust Fund Kids down at the docks tonight, and nobody from the VC Family better get in our way.

Watch it...
