You know, it was just one show that occupied a fairly insignificant space in music. Unplugged really didn't do much to acknowledge acoustic music either.

There's a point where a song looses all appeal simply because you know it too well, or there was something about it that appealed to you personally that was plowed over by having to listen everybody else's half-witted opinions of it. Then there's simply being turned off by a song because you find introducing into your…

Actually, the age old conundrum that most anti-capitalist ranting is a tired load of BS. If Refused wanted to be a band without a major label they could have been a band without a major label, their are plenty of bands that do this. At the end of the day Refused probably got a good offer with good terms and honestly…

Kittens also had that odd Rockabilly vibe to them.

Louis CK isn't starting this conversation, he's just giving it a reasonable platform.

They don't need to be told they're not fat, they need to be told they have nothing to feel ashamed of, and that's the overall point.

Reacting hostilely to the sight of something you're on attracted to seems text book male gaze. Sort of gives you the impression that a lot of people believe women are put on the screen for a certain gratification.

This issue is radio is really really awesome when it's good and you have an actual DJ speaking, selecting the music, and bringing on live guests. What we have on terrestrial radio these days is commercial, generic, and obsessed with listener with approval. There are good things on the radio if you know how to find…

I hear yah.. It took 10 years of rarely hearing radio before could actually enjoy a Led Zeppelin song again.

"I like everything, but…"
Translations… "I have very mainstream tastes and will never admit it, but I think I'll sound clever if I claim to hate this type of music that I hear a lot of people justifiably hate, in fact I can site one of the reasons I've heard."

Not sure why you're saying "except" when when one of their major influences is noted for combining punk with elements of 70s rock.

Peter Christopherson's videos did more to articulate RATM's (Freedom especially) politics than RATM ever could.

If you really want to understand Nirvana you have to listen to Bleach. I can only imagine what Nevermind would have sounded like if they continued on with that approach.

They all have 70s AOR and 80s post-punk influences. I'd say Nirvana was more heavily influenced by the 70s than the 80s.

That was pretty much the story with soundtracks at the time including Beavis and Butthead, and Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. I'm not sure how Kurt Cobain got credit for destroying hair metal. First of all, nobody can agree on a definition for hair metal, and second it seemed more like metal simply moved into the 90s…

The key item in the entire film is Chance's suit. The fact that it is a very high end suit is the reason affluent people simply assume he's one of them. Also, I'm really wondering what makes a street gang look credible and why I don't have the magical ability to tell a $500 suit from a $5000 suit.

I have that record somewhere. It was one those "you have to buy this" items at the record store.

I guess the idea that Chance would be able to walk on water is just as likely as him not getting found out very soon.

I think they're completely different. "Forrest Gump" revels in American Salt-Of-The-Earth wisdom and boot-straps ingenuity. "Being There" is mocking shallowness by presenting a showing a man with no means to care for himself being elevated as genius because he's wearing a nice suit.

The similarities I see are good ones. On the plus side Last Week Tonight dispenses with the pointless celebrity interviews and has more time to add substance to each story.
