It's 100% official. Wilco fans are the worst people alive.

Hey Jerry Garcia, you miserable bastard, mayhaps the truth lies beyond your limited bullshit definition of "musicianship".

Thanks, I realize I was assuming it was a memoir and it's clearly not. Whoops.

Just that excerpt.

I realize compared to the average reader, I'm probably considered a superfan of Tweedy's, but it still was strange that Offerman goes into details of their career and the YHF story - feels like he was in need of some filler for his book.

Ugh, that fucking Garcia quote in your sig is repulsive.

Who was it, Eleanor Roosevelt who said do one brave thing a day?

Did Frank get outed in season 3? I gave up on it after the first episode (which was a good decision from what I've heard of the rest of it).

Nice. I can dig it.

I'd assume the request from the moneyman was please keep it very hits-heavy.

Yeah that review sure got it. George Miller's filmography is totally schizo. Check out the films he directed between Thunderdome and Fury Road: 1985 Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome 1987 The Witches of Eastwick 1992 Lorenzo's Oil 1998 Babe: Pig in the City 2006 Happy Feet 2011 Happy Feet Two 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road Like that other piece said, there's no godly reason Fury Road should be as great as it is.

I loved Mad Max Fury Road. Can't remember the last time I thought that little while watching a movie. No distracting thoughts, too much going on. When I did actually think, it was focused along the lines of what this guy is saying. How the hell did this movie happen? http://io9.com/do-you-realize-mad-max-fury-road-is-a-miracle-1707000166

I don't buy that head full of snow doesn't refer to coke, though. I mean, loneliness and coke abuse aren't mutually exclusive topics, Mick.

That was a nice read, Mick's thoughts on Moonlight Mile. Thanks for posting. Listening to it now. Man, whatta choon.

Huzzah!

Yes indeed. "Big, dumb, white guy."

In that episode I posted George Clinton describes the allure of Letterman's show perfectly - "The first thing that let me know I wasn't crazy was when I first saw you on television, and people liking you. Because I mean, I know what it's like to be a jerk...no no no, now don't get me wrong...a positive creative nuisance. You know what I'm sayin'? We get off on that, and you do it good." Clinton even wrote his own Top Ten list of favorite Late Night moments. And coincidentally, Dave makes a jab at the ubiquity of Phil Collins in that episode.

Same here but they're his favorite, so good for him.

This is a classic episode, with Robert Klein and a great performance/interview with George Clinton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc1t6aOJF0Q

I dug it. Ever since uncool2pillow mentioned Make Me Lonesome When You Go I pictured Zimmy changing the line to "mine have been like Dave's and Len-oh!"

I watched the primetime special a couple of weeks ago and while it doesn't diminish my memories of the old NBC show, it made it clearer than ever that the switch to CBS (and, the 11:30 time slot restrictions/debts that came with it) changed the spirit of the show in some small but significant way that made me less of a fan and more of an admirer of Dave's for sticking it out. I liked it better when Brother Theodore was saying his fellow guest Miss America "makes Bella Abzug look like an airline hostess" than when Julia Roberts appeared for the hundredth time to flirt with Dave.

Letterman was idolized in my home growing up. I don't recall a time from the mid-to-late 80s when when I could possibly have missed an episode. We recorded it every night (Fridays were always a repeat, so four eps a week) and over the course of a week into the weekend, through various viewings (my parents would watch it religiously after dinner, and my four brothers and sisters would watch any time of day - in the summer my sister and I would stay up for it), I probably watched each episode at least two full times. And the anniversary specials we'd all watch to the point where I can still reci
