Sir Stewart

That's an odd argument against operas having a narrative.

"Monkey Man" in GoodFellas though. C'mon.

Let's start casting for The Late Shift II: NBC's Revenge. I think the kid from There Will Be Blood should play Conan: Andy Richter: Leno: Letterman:

Aren't you thinking of Paul's Boutique?

There are undoubtedly some AWESOME writing sessions going on at 30 Rock (the show) right now.

Siskel & Ebert clips are one of my favorite things on YouTube. Also: he schtupped Oprah?!??!?!

Salem News with the scoop! Score one for MeDave! Not that he works there, but still.

I'm sure he'd feel much worse if he weren't under such heavy sedation.

You're Aerosmith: you can't take a fucking year off while your leader, the face of the band since its inception, rehabs? Assholes. Also, idiots. For the first time in decades your upcoming tour would actually have some buzz to it.

Roger Ebert and Oprah Winfrey bumped uglies?

Reading comprehension -1 for me. I even read it twice to be sure! Anyway. Nice story.

That is a cool story, thanks for sharing! One thing though: 2 is right answer.

Stern called it in 06 and Artie did in 08

Soooo good to log on and see "Last Post by: LouisvilleGreg" !!!!!! Sucks about the insurance situation/40% blockage/shitty weekend with no shows, but great to hear from you Greg. Continued vibes, of course.

Ted Kennedy was my senator! I had no choice!

This is kind of enjoyable.

No, I think everyone was pretty excited. I was busy getting married at the time to notice all that much though.

^^There's another one I was ignorant about. Neil Young. I remember watching Rolling Stone's 25th Anniversary special on ABC at my friend's house, and during footage of Neil rocking the fuck out of Like A Hurricane or Cinnamon Girl, in jeans and a flannel w/the arms cut off, I, thinking he was sooooooooo uncool, said I never liked him and I didn't see the appeal. My friend's dad looked at me like I just told him that- umm...well, that Neil Young sucks. I'll never forget that face.

It was legislation from the Romney administration that passed both houses I believe. Yes, the Romney administration.

You're not helping your case by assuming the people who vote Republican are automatically uneducated voters. This we can agree on: No one likes the health care bill as it stands. Right? So, following that, many people in Massachusetts saw a direct line from a vote for Scott Brown to a stop to the bill's success. What's uneducated about that?

People are fired up and for a lack of a better term they're labeling Obama's tactics communism. Even if their terms are misleading, the sentiments are real. It's not crazy. It's reactionary maybe, and poorly thought out, but there's a palpable feeling among these voters they're doing 'something'. Reminds me how I felt a year ago about Obama. We all want to grab onto something in the public sphere that speaks to us. It's not crazy, it's human.

That reminds me - I halfheartedly hated The Pixies for the same reason. My brother disliked They Might Be Giants, so I picked one of his favorites to hate. My heart was never really in it, but I stood strong. Broke down once Doolittle came out.

Very weird, that. The crowd was actually booing him, too. And his wife said "stop that!"

Meh. This rant is just as useless and rigid as anything coming from the far right. We've gotten to the point of "if you don't vote for the same candidate I do, then you're a crazy person and everything you do and say and wear and believe in is outright and automatically crazy." I'm done with that line of thought.
