Very well said. Absolutely true. And today there's a very vocal backlash against the intense adoration and appreciation of John Lennon's music. There's a very bitter, paranoid element vociferously decrying John as a despicable, irredeemable failure of a human, and therefor his music must be crap, as well as anything

I saw an exhibit some of Yoko's art which she had been creating at the time that John first met her, and while it's not as formally or intellectually rigorous as other more notable, well regarded artwork of the time her creations are undeniably compelling and provocative. She was employing minimalist techniques

Right, no song, or chant, or gospel spiritual, or printed cartoon, or publicly displayed poster, or graffiti, or published literature, or newspaper article, or pamphlet, or poem, or theatrical production, or film, or photograph, or televised program, or painting ever contributed in any way to effecting anyone's

That's the point. I didn't say that Yoko is a brilliant vocalist or a masterful songstress, but she is a provocative, somewhat enlightened personality. People would prefer not to be disturbed from their barely conscious level of awareness, and they lash out at whoever disrupts their warm, fuzzy, dreamy half sleep of

I wasn't challenging your description, I was just chiming in with my smarmy, name dropping two cents. What's curious is that Scott teaches acting workshops. I suppose anyone who's been within 2 meters of Bill Murray is granted special status in the cinematic thespian realm.

A quarter screen pict of a naked chick only takes 2 minutes to download. This is living!

I like the way the Cheerleader Judges are smiling at JLH's dance. Cheerleaders are all rabid lesbians, right? Please say yes.

You really wanna brag about that?! And people say I'm gross…

My brother occasionally plays guitar with Scott Colomby in LA. Scott hosts an open mic night at a small club where he plays drums and all sorts of musical and Hollywood folk drop in. So there.

Great Job, Internet! - Dinosaurs are working for the NSA.

You despicable narcissists. I believe Burl is being facetious, or at least Burl had better be, because inviting people to pontificate on their personal past glories is a crime punishable by having to actually read your dreadfully tedious responses. Oh, that reminds me. In 1993 I was getting beat up by the big kids for

I like to listen to it while I play with my extensive collection of Pogs.

That really rang my Liberty Bell.

Yoko Ono certainly is a peculiar individual, but she was once a very competent and even respected artist. Her signature primal screams are an auditory expression of the unconscionable misery in which woman all over the globe suffer every day, most often at the hands of men. Plus, she has spoken out against Fracking,

I thought I'd tune in last night to honor the legacy and memory of dearly departed Marcia Wallace but then they pull that sleazy move broadcasting the wrong episode. I tried to stick it out - I made an honest effort - but I just had to bail on it after 10 minutes. It was so atrociously unfunny, and it's just a

Right. If it's fair to publicly denigrate Shaq's character and imply that he is a cretin merely because he possesses certain verbal peculiarities then that's a triumph for the elitist bigots.

"Fox" is not actually a parody. It was an attempt by a Norwegian comedy duo, Ylvis, to make a song and video even more ridiculous than Miley Cyrus, and in my horrible opinion they succeeded.

You guessed it: Frank Stallone.

Mass Hysteria strikes again: this was NOT a very good episode. The cold open was a minimally humorous and close ended premise and the episode then proceeded to get increasingly flat and tedious. Jay Pharaoh as Shaq made me chuckle at first but the bit quickly became way too mean spirited. Shaq is a decent,

When he denigrates the craft of acting Franco is performing a sublimely subversive pantomime of master thespian Marlon Brando who later in his career deemed acting to be a less impressive or worthwhile profession than circus geek.
