Accelerate WAS pretty good, and what I've heard from their upcoming album is even better.

I didn't realize that it was an either / or thing.

I grew up watching the 60s sitcoms in re-runs, so it's nearly impossible for me to judge, though I can say that I've gone back to both DICK VAN DYKE and GET SMART, and I didn't love either one as much as I had hoped.

A Fallow Decade
Stuck in between the groundbreaking shows of the 1970s and the deconstructions of the 1990s, the 1980s was probably the worst decade for sitcoms.

Paula Marshall was unreal in the original "Cupid." Also, everything else she was in before and since.

2 1/2 Years
That's the amount of time between ZEN ARCADE and WAREHOUSE.

Good News
Now if we could only figure out how to cancel the trolls . . .

I Met W. Earl Brown at a Drive-By Truckers Concert
True story. DBT was playing the House of Blues in Hollywood, and he was standing right in front of me. It was just before season 3 started, so I introduced myself and told him I was a big fan of the show, and he said that he was really looking forward to people…

Ack! Proves how stupid it is to play the LOST numbers
Thousands of other people are still playing them, so it means that you split the pot with all of those people.

Let me belatedly second the love for Goodbye, Pop. Some brilliant stuff there, especially the Neil Young history: "his death was a great loss for both rock and roll."

@hollyhox

I dunno about that, but it was a #1 hit single in 1973, showing how eclectic the charts were back then, and the 45 came in clear gold vinyl, which I still wish I had.

In Honor, Dolly Should do a Ramones Cover
Might I suggest:

I Didn't Want to See it Before
But now that they've introduced an element of craziness and danger into the entire enterprise, I'm interested!!

I wonder if they are cutting back on the hiking and driving scenes as an attempt to make the show even more realistic. It's just not possible for even the best of friends at that age to meet on a daily — or hell, even a weekly — basis to just hang out.

She had the whole show, and that's a natural fact.

Tour Better than the Film
I saw them on this tour — at the infamous L.A. Coliseum show where the assholes up front booed Prince off of the stage because he had the temerity to be, you know, black — and I had a GREAT time, despite the fact that I was probably 50 yards away. I was, of course, too young to care about…
